Esa Lease Renewal Rights

Disabled tenants with emotional support animals (ESAs) in Arizona are protected by law. Landlords cannot refuse reasonable accommodations or charge pet fees for ESAs. They must renew leases unless they have a valid reason unrelated to the ESA. Contact an Arizona Fair Housing Organization for further assistance.

Hi. Im a disabled person. I have hydrocephalus and have an ESA. My landlord wont renew my lease because he hates dogs. Im never late on my rent or cause any problems and I cant afford to move because Im on disability. I thought I was protected by law as a disabled person with an ESA and I would really like to stay in my home
