way above market rents, I don't feel bad for them at all. There is an easy solution, BYU should trust its students and eliminate the moronic approved housing requirement.

Nobody should be forced to allow animals in a human dwelling

HighHorse

10/30/14 12:22pm

You're right, but a legit service animal is not an animal under the law.

reagan21

10/30/14 12:25pm

another reason to despise "the law"

HighHorse

10/30/14 12:26pm

reagan21

cougarmanguy

10/30/14 10:48am

I think this guy's attorney is confused by a "service animal" --

Finngirl

10/30/14 10:58am

unfortunately, it makes you the big, bad, mean "angry guy"...

Is there a specific Utah statute that provides for this?

BYUMizzou

10/30/14 10:46am

yes

cougarmanguy

10/30/14 10:49am

What is the statute?

Finngirl

10/30/14 11:39am

In Utah you need a doctor/mental health professional note

ChopperDave

10/30/14 10:49am

not true. holding a paper from the utah apartment association

cougarmanguy

10/30/14 10:50am

Up until last August this wasn't true- I was asked to write some

ChopperDave

10/30/14 10:51am

very true now

cougarmanguy

10/30/14 10:52am

I always thought it was getting to be too much

ChopperDave

10/30/14 10:54am

doesn't seem to be....

Boom. I knew it

ds7

10/30/14 11:22am

I know BYU employment isn't the most prestigious, but "never held a real job"?

DapperDan

10/30/14 11:24am

the vast majority of people "at BYU" are students...

ds7

10/30/14 11:32am

I didn't realize BYU had students making the policies now

DapperDan

10/30/14 11:38am

did you even read the original post to this thread?

ds7

10/30/14 12:23pm

The one erroneously blaming the government?

cougarmanguy

10/30/14 11:33am

I'm a student housing owner as well. Rents @ BYU are significantly below

"Emotional support animal" is a good thing; it's a red flag of who not to date.

thats a pretty stupid comment

cougarmanguy

10/30/14 11:27am

But you keep mentioning some "statute" and fail to produce it.

Finngirl

10/30/14 11:39am

can you still charge a premium or additional fee for pets?

BYUFam1

10/30/14 11:37am

not according to the Fair Housing Act.

Finngirl

10/30/14 11:41am

not for emotional support animals

cougarmanguy

Somebody takes advantage of a situation and you screw with their life? Cool.

Some places should just offer housing for only those with allergies to animals.
