DEALING WITH EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS IN OUR BUILDINGS

Dealing with Emotional Support Animals in our Buildings

We’ve all seen them, the cute little dogs with an “ESA” vest that people are carrying around our buildings these days. What are Emotional Support Animals? What are our legal obligations toward their owners as facility managers? What about the increasingly exotic ESAs that we’re reading about in the news? Facility managers have reason to be concerned about the strong ESA trend in our society. There are a lot of questions, but not a lot of case law precedents yet. This engaging webinar will give an overview of the laws governing the various types of “assistance animals”, the abuse of ESA certificates, and what we as FMs can and cannot do.
