Animals at Your Service

Exotic pets can be all fun and games... unless you run afoul of the latest real estate laws on what's allowed and what's required of buyers, sellers, and their agents.  In this episode the Pickle Lady reveals all the latest updates, so you can be sure to not step in that.

what’s up hello peeps this is diane and randall bro here she used pickle lady we’re in prescott arizona yes the lovely brisket arizona talking about life and real estate life in real estate and with our little pickle mugs that’s right coffee mug waiting for it looks like a little monsoon might be coming in again which would be so nice great monsoon season this year absolutely so today we kind of went to talk about something uh service animal rules service animal rules yeah and this is very interesting there are service animals which you just think would be a dog correct um but you were wrong it’s dogs as well as miniature that’s right miniature horses miniature horses so when it’s service what constitutes a service animal does it have to just give you emotional no no no no those are two different things okay there are service animals and those are highly highly trained um animals uh it could be dogs or your miniature pony if that’s what you have uh which apparently they’re supposed to be super super smart and they’re just as trainable as a dog and they are house broken they are everything but anyway a service animal really serves its owner these are people that it will help guide them it can sense if a seizure is coming on it can sense if um you’re about to faint whatever and they will if you do fall they will go and seek help um they guide you they lead you uh they’re they’re totally there to serve their owner who whatever in whatever capacity they may need see i don’t need one of those i keep you just in case you know i need any help i i am i am the servant she is yeah so uh when it comes to looking for homes uh and you bring your if you have a service animal your animal or your miniature horse has to be allowed it has to be allowed it has to be allowed 100 when you’re going into a home um that is permissible the difference what you were talking about emotional support animals that’s a little different um they are those are more varied it can even be a ferret it can be a little pot belly pig it can be a cat some people have snakes i can’t imagine that being emotionally supportive but hey i’m no offense to you people who love snakes and lizards and all that good stuff um but uh those critters those uh you have to have a certificate that it’s an emotional support animal and if you wanted to rent or rent a place they have to allow those animals into your into the rental into the rental that’s you you know you’re allowed to do that um but it’s not mandated so it’s just kind of interesting that you know they can let you bring them in um you have to be very careful as long as they are not a threat okay as long as they’re not uh danger a danger to other you know other people surrounding neighbors like a snake correct so it’s just kind of interesting yeah service animals really just do more performing for their so if you are a seller and someone requests is showing yeah your agent is obligated to let their service animal through now can you ask for i assume you can ask for documentation no uh service animals will have it on there should have it on their collar and everything emotional support no they’re not gonna you don’t have to so you don’t have to let an emotional support animal in but you do have to let the service out yes you have to you have to obey so it’s just something kind of interesting a little differentiation um but we all love our pets all of our pets so uh just to be clear if you are a seller and your listing age you are the listing agent uh refuses to let the service miniature pony into your house um you could get sued you could get in trouble for that yeah get in trouble with license trouble and stuff like that because it’s not an option this is not an option that is correct it’s not an option um for people who want to rent though you do have to accept your emotional support animals as well as long as they’re not aggressive threatening or anything else and uh you’re not even required if you’re renting and you have an emotional support animal you will not have to pay the extra pet deposit oh yeah yeah so just make sure that’s deposited from yeah service animal or the emotional support both both yeah so just be sure that your emotional support animal is is sweet and taming yeah and you’ll be good to go and so yeah if you want to anybody out there who has a service dog or a service pony
