Landlord Esa Accommodation Dispute

Summary

Landlords in Florida must accommodate emotional support animals (ESAs) under the Fair Housing Act unless the ESA poses a direct threat. If you wish to terminate your lease early without fees, review your lease for relevant clauses and negotiate with your landlord, citing the issues faced. Consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice on handling your landlord-tenant dispute and ESA accommodations.

It seems you're dealing with a difficult situation with your landlord regarding your ESA. Here are some general points relevant to your scenario in Maryland:
- Maryland law, like federal law, requires landlords to make reasonable accommodations for ESAs.
- An ESA should not be removed unless it poses a direct threat or causes substantial property damage.
- If you wish to move, review your lease for any clauses on early termination and negotiate with your landlord, possibly citing the issues you're facing.
