Could totally see this happening in a rental.

Legally, a SDIT is not a trained SD. So no issue there.
Besides, training a SD is a LOT of work! --64.251.xxx.xxx |

I am very much appreciative that OPM brought this issue up. I am now in the process of updating my lease riders, and I am currently working on a new lease clause which addresses the subject of service dogs and Emotional Support Animals. Hence, the sentence "A service dog in training is legally not a service animal" shall now be incorporated into that particular rider clause. --66.87.xx.xxx |

No need to add more nonsense to an existing lease, until it has been certified it is just another wanna be pet and applicant will be held to pet standards in place, whatever your adult size - breed restrictions are. --76.188.xxx.xx |

I agree with Vee. I would NOT add that to my lease. Because it is already the law. And, should that law change, I'd rather my lease not be in conflict with it.
If you have a "handbook" that goes along with your lease -- you might have a section that makes it clear to people that the law does not consider SDIT to be SDs. But I would not add something like "A service dog in training is legally not a service animal" to an actual clause in my lease. I don't need to re-state federal law in my lease.

Vee, no I don't presently have a handbook. I do agree that it is a good idea, especially when dealing with a bunch of operating rules and regulations. I also wasn't aware of the federal guidelines on service dogs. At the moment, I had been incorporating these in my lease riders. I'm all for this format if it helps to streamline my lease documents.
.
In going back to the "dog in training" verbiage, my intent was to counter those "Mr./Miss Know-It-All smart alecks that we sometimes have to contend with. Thank you for your very informative comment! - Dan --66.87.xx.xxx |

There are federal laws (the FHAA) concerning both Service Animals and Emotional Support Animals. I would definitely read up on them -- we, as landlords, need to know how they work. Especially before you add anything to your lease concerning animals. People worry me a little bit when they say that they aren't aware of federal laws on Service Dogs while writing Service Dog related clauses into their leases! :)
