So now let's talk about whether or not a renter is allowed to bring little red wagons into their rented living rooms.
Because - changing topics to prove a point that no one is challenging seems to be all the rage.

Someone who has an ESA can not be discriminated against for housing….
“The new rules in Florida are similar in many ways to Federal Fair Housing rules for emotional support animals and borrow many of the same concepts. An emotional support animal in Florida is an animal that provides assistance or therapeutic emotional support to its owner by its mere presence. An ESA does not need any special training to work or perform tasks for its owner.
Florida’s laws prohibit housing providers from discriminating against tenants with a need for an emotional support animal. ESA owners are allowed to live with their animal companions as “reasonable accommodation”, even in buildings that generally prohibit pets.”
