Class Description:

On May 22, 2026, HUD’s Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) issued new enforcement guidance that significantly changes how complaints involving emotional support animals (ESAs) and reasonable accommodation requests will be evaluated under the Fair Housing Act (FHA). The memorandum rescinds prior HUD guidance and signals a major policy shift toward standards resembling those used under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Find out how the new guidance from HUD affects your obligations regarding approval of ESAs, and a discussion of whether to revise your current policies for ESAs in light of these changes, including whether pet fees, deposits and rent must still be waived.
