When a tenant has an emotional support animal that causes problems, what can happen according to the lease terms?

A tenant with an emotional support animal is not automatically exempt from eviction if the animal causes problems that violate the lease terms. Lease agreements typically include clauses regarding the behavior of tenants and their pets or support animals. If the emotional support animal leads to issues such as noise complaints, property damage, or disruption to other tenants, these can constitute lease violations. In such scenarios, landlords have the right to enforce the lease agreement, potentially resulting in eviction if the problems are not addressed.

This is consistent with the legal framework surrounding fair housing and emotional support animals, which acknowledges the importance of accommodating individuals with disabilities while also maintaining the rights of property owners to ensure a peaceful living environment for all tenants. Thus, if the emotional support animal becomes a source of disruption, it can lead to actions taken by the landlord according to the lease, which may include eviction after proper procedures are followed.
