Can I ask why someone with a legit ADA recognized service animal wouldn’t have documentation for it? It seems OP knows the difference between a SA and an ESA but really really doesn’t want to share with their landlord?

You still need a medical professional to say that you have a physical or mental condition that a service animal can be trained a task to help you with. I know that rubs some people the wrong way but it’s a fact, Jack. Lots of well meaning people for financial or other reasons try to circumvent the process and make it extremely hard for people with legitimate disabilities to get the accommodations the need and rightfully deserve. That’s why I’ve been a little gruff in this post. So many people want a pet and lie to landlords about this stuff. Then the landlords get jaded and people that need ESAs an SAs get a hard time.

They are just talking about paperwork. That is all that I was addressing. As for me I am permanently disabled in more ways than one. I have a trained service dog. He is amazing. That being said I have a pet as well. I gladly pay the deposit for the pet. I currently am not renting. Although I may downsize soon.
