  • When a service animal is outside of the guest room:
    ○ It must always be under the control of its handler, and
    ○ It must have a harness, leash, or other tether, unless either the handler is unable because of a disability to use such a device or use of it would interfere with the service animal’s safe, effective performance of work or tasks, in which case the service animal must be otherwise under the handler’s control (e.g., voice control, signals, or other effective means).
  • It is grounds for eviction if a service animal is threatening people, barking,
    or otherwise out of control and/or creating a disturbance, and the dog’s
