Summary
The bill stops landlords from adding rent, fees, or security deposits because a tenant has or wants an emotional support animal. Tenants must give a health provider’s note, and the rule doesn’t apply to small owner‑occupied buildings or animals that pose a safety risk. Violations let tenants sue for $1,000 per offense plus attorney fees.
