Curious about rental properties and pets? Have you ever wondered if it is legal for tenants to pay a pet fee for a service animal in their rental unit? Or, what do landlords have to consider when a tenant makes a reasonable accommodation request for their disability?  Join the Los Angeles Housing Department as we host two organizations this month to discuss pets in rental units in the City of Los Angeles.  The Los Angeles Department of Animal Services has information on some of the benefits and resources available to pet owning tenants, landlords, and those interested in bringing a furry friend home.  The Housing Rights Center will discuss federal and state fair housing laws, emphasizing learning more about disability accommodations for service and support animals. The webinar will also include information regarding the City’s new ordinance, which provides eviction protection to tenants who brought pets into their units due to COVID-19.

The session will be held online via Zoom.

Learn more about renter protections by visiting our webpage to view a recorded webinar and read a summary of the rules on eviction, rental arrears, and rent increases.
