The Risteau of Rockland

Policy for Disability and Service Animals

This is as follow -up; providing more of a one-stop shop for "one rule or regulation" of the overallpolicies, or rules and regulations. Because there appears to be some sort of landlord and tenantrelationship existing in one form, I recommend that an assistance dog access provision be adapted tothe leases moving forward. So I provide that recommended language once again moving then to the ruleand regulation, as I deem supportable, on assistance dogs or service animals incorporating some

~ comments.

While pets will not be allowed, all federal, state, and local law regarding non -discrimination, including,as applies to the presence of assistance dogs, governs this lease arrangement. To balance fihe needs ofall tenants or guests of tenants concerned, including most importantly people with disabilities who thegrounds hope rent units, a set of guidelines regarding assistance dogs (one of the overall rules andregulations in general effect) has been established. As such, the tenant and the landlord enter into thisspecific clause of the lease regarding assistance dogs (and the set of guidelines incorporated herein asreference) as one form of reasonable accommodations that may be provided at this complex; hereinsigned and dated individually. With this clause being in efFect as to the tenant and the landlord, as wellas to all of their assigns, successors, or other future parties in law, all are on notice as to the effect ofthis clause.

Resolved that the following rule and regulation (one of severe) rules and regulations in general efFectfor

all Fesider~ts) applies to all residents (i).

1) The board will provide actively reasonable accommodations as required by federal, state, and local

non-discrimination law. Any Resident with a disability, as that term is defined in federal law, will be

provided a reasonable accommodation for the presence of an assistance dog, if known to the board.

1Votably, the board understands the following kinds of dogs to be exameles of assistance dogs: guide

dogs; hearing alert dogs; mobility assist dogs; seizure alert dogs; diabetic alert dogs; and solely in the

context of housing, even emotional support dogs. Other animals, such as snakes, rabbits, and primates

are not assistance dogs. Regardless, a request for a reasonable accommodation must be, will be,

submitted through its established reasonable accommodations request application used for a range of

other needs or concerns related to affording equal enjoyment to our housing options. Requests will be

promptly acted upon. (ii)

2) Ultimately, this is a no pet's complex. Indeed, no legal rights attach to persons who do not have

disabilities in terms of having an animal on the premises. If one is not disabled, one should not have an

animal on the premises except by advanced, documented consent of the board.

3) As part of the reasonable accommodations process for assistance dogs, the board will request, as to

be promptly provided by the resident, supporting documentation. Any dog claimed as an assistance dog

must meet, through verifiable substantiation, an inquiry by the board; if the assistance dog serves aNeuis among a disability and the impact of such disability on daily living. Documentation must be

presented as follows: It must be on letterhead of a licensed physician, or from a licensed Clinical Social

r ' t

Worker, or from a licensed Vocational Rehabilitation Program, such as the Department of Rehabilitation

Services in Maryland. The letter will be provided to the Risteau via e -mail directly from the work

account of that medical or mental health professional but in PD F and must be directly signed by that

professional. It must state specifically: if the dog is an assistance dog and what kind of assistance dog

category it fails into; If the dog perForms a specific task accommodating that disability; If so, how those

task s improve the daily living of that disability; and, ifthat dog has been trained formally, and if so, by

what organization for which the Risteau may be allowed to confirm with that training organization. Theboard reserves the ability to ask that any such documentation be notarized if necessary using the farmNCertifrcat'e by Approved Care Individual".

4) While the board wants legally to foster the presence of assistance dog's; tenants, or other residents,have obligations as well for which a lack of compliance will be met with consequences. A rule andregulation as to violations of a range of condo services will be in effect as to all residents. Among these,and not limited to these, are basic health and safety considerations.

Good Behavior and Rules of the Road

5) Assistance dogs are allowed in common areas, including, the mail room, if that is a common area

open to all residents. At the same time, the board has an obligation of providing reasonable

accommodations to all residents with disabilities, such as those with allergies, if indeed there is an

allergy arising to the level of a disability. As such, residents with disabilities, who have assistance dogs,

will workwith the board in negotiating reasonable access to the common areas, if there is a resident

with a documented allergy rising to the level of a disability. Again, if a resident is not a person with a

disability, a reasonable accommodation for having an assistance dog does not apply; providing the

board broad discretion.

6) Requirement as to Relieving: For your assistance animal, a specified relieving area will be provided —

safeand comfortable. Assistance dogs will not be relieved but in this designated area. The board

understands if an assistance dog is ill. The board will not tolerate repeated relieving in non -designated

areas. Norwill the board tolerate abuse of the instant policy. Regardless, handlers of assistance dogs

must clean after their dogs. They are required to carry clean up supplies with them and must

immediately pick up any waste left by the animal.

7) Assistance dogs will be kept in good health at all times; and as such, will have up -tadate

vaccinations. This may be shown by the assistance dog wearing a rabies tag. Assistance dogs will be

licensed per any local requirements. Namely, most jurisdictions require that assistance dogs have a tag,

usually free to the person with a disability.

8) Restricted OfF Leash Movement Assistance Dogs: Pets or Assistance dogs will be kept underthe

immediate control of the handler at all times, including, within common areas. Most of the time, the

board will require that, as is true for all pets in Baltimore County, this be on leash. Although, if the

assistance dog is a kind of assistance dog that is not necessarily on leash per the reasonable

accommodations process, the assistance dog will not leave the immediate body space of the handler.

9) Assistance dogs must also be good residents. And this will be the constant, regular responsibility ofthe resident with the disability. This means, for instance, beyond a random act consistent with the taskbeing performed by an assistance dog for the person with a disability, such as barking as to alert forhelp; the assistance dog will not bark on a repeated basis, will not growl or make other form ofutterance, or will not otherwise be disruptive. To the extent that an occasional pet is allowed at thecondos, this applies even more so with the board having broad discretion to address the issue.

10) Residents with disabilities, whose assistance dogs, cause damage to a unit, or if a condo, in thecommon area, are responsible forthat damage beyond average usage damage. Such residents will beresponsible forthe costs ofthe board in addressing such damage, including, but not limited to, carpetcleaning. A bill will be presented by the board to that resident, who has thirty days to pay the bill. If notpaid, the board may undertake future action, such as eviction proceedings consistent with Marylandlaw.

1i) Assistance dogs are notfungible items. An assistance dog may not be trensferred from a deceaseddisabled resident to a spouse. Even if the spouse or co-resident has a disability, assistance dogs areindividually trained to the specific person. Upon death, an assistance dog usually transforms into a pet.Nor may additional assistance dogs be added to the unit without prior notification and approval perthereasonable accommodation process. A retired assistance dog, such as a retired guide dog may not bekept in the units.

12) Should a disabled resident die, and she or he has an assistance dog on site; the next-of-kin ofthatresident will be contacted and provided thirty days to retrieve the assistance dog. If no response, the

training organization, if any, will be called; and will be given two months to facilitate removal. If thatassistance dog is not retrieved, the local Animal Control will be thirdly called.

13) The provisions offihe rules and regulations regarding handling of assistance dogs (a specific subset of

the reasonable accommodations process) in or about the grounds shall apply to visitors and guests to

the same extentthey applyto residents.

Q) Considerthe douses, as prohded infra, as what I deem as supportable. if I found clauses in the originally provided guidelines, as not

supportable, suds as the orientation towards limiting access to the common areas or the insurance i2quest tfiat sounds like an additional fee,

do not prwidethat infra. Again, none ofthe language oFaccammodations appty to a mere pet owner.

(It) D'~sabilitywill be broadly defined perthe amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, which also influences the

deFinitioa of df~biliry under fair housing. To our understanding, a disability arises if a condition is more than siz monUu in duration; and if ft

meets the other vite~ia setforth In the Act A disability may alw exist where a person is recognized by society as having a disability. People,

who do not have a dtsabtlity, will not have rights to have a pet on the premise,. {i7i)

(tii) A dispute resolution approach will be applied for all conflicts arising underthe assistance dog rule and 2gulation. Conflicts between Tenant

and Landlors! ar among the board and rPsldent arising out of or relating to the Premises, or xrith regard to their Lease, including, alto all thepesformanaes due, wch as compliance wfd~ the guidelines for assistance dogs, will be submitted, on an early a basis as pauible, to a dispute

rtsoludon process. The board will pay the dispute resolver, making the praess, a fadl'dation, not a mediation. As such, the cornenation, while

not confidential, will he engaged in hopes of brokering a resolution of a purported violation of the lease among the landlord and the tenant or

as among the board and the resident
