I'm looking into getting a therapy animal, a dog. This dog will be trained by a licensed companion animal training breeder near me. When I spoke to my landlord they said no pets including therapy animals.
Is this legal at all?

I'm in the United States.

Check your state's rules. In California, maybe others, landlords cannot deny emotional support animals.

Most states can though since they're not generally recognized under the ada for protection.

If it is trained to do tasks for a specific disability it is generally covered, blanket emotional support or "therapy" animals unless they do tasks aren't covered.
