But you (the tenant) have to have proof that you (the tenant) are disabled and in need of a service animal. No, there is no official documentation for the animal. But there is official documentation to prove that yes, a disabled person really is renting and occupying this rental property.
If YOU are not disabled, then YOU don't need a service animal and therefore they can refuse to allow the animal to live in the unit.
