Question: I run a rental property that has a "no pets" policy. I have a tenant who has made a reasonable-accommodation request to have a companion dog. I understand that I need to let her have her dog, because companion animal support dogs are not pets. But I'm worried her dog will tear up the flooring and destroy the apartment. I would like to charge her extra rent or get an additional deposit from her in order to protect the property from future expenses. When I brought up that possibility, she told me that I can't do that under the Fair Housing laws. Is she right?
