Mental disability dog evicted case Hud.doc
« on: March 31, 2006, 03:12:26 PM »
Federally assisted housing complex for elderly and disabled persons did not
violate the
Fair Housing Act by evicting mentally ill resident who was unable to control
his dog
even with reasonable accommodation by the complex.
HUD v. Riverbay, FH-FL Rptr. ¶25,080 (HUD Office of ALJs 1994): Landlord
violated
Fair Housing Act by refusing to allow mentally disabled tenant to keep her
dog, which
was necessary to ease the effects of her recurrent depression. Decision later
vacated in
light of settlement, FH-FL Rptr. ¶25,105.

There we go, he couldn't control his dog.  They had every right to do it, IMHO.

Now, lets not forget the ones who didn't make it, they will always be in my heart.
