If someone wants to live in a building, with their animal - the landlord has the right to require that the person show evidence that he has an actual disability and that the animal is trained to perform a service in direct relation to that specific disability.
Such as a dog that is trained to detect the onset of an epileptic seizure - the person has to provide documentation showing that he actually suffers from epileptic seizures, and that the dog is specifically trained to detect the onset of them.
This is the only time that the right of the property owner outweighs a claim of the animal's handler.
