Solution

  1. False - Jerrod cannot determine whether Marcy has a disability just by looking at her. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a person with a disability may need a service animal to assist with daily living. Jerrod cannot deny her request based on his assumptions.

  2. True - Cathy, as a landlord, has the right to ask Marcus why he needs a bird for accommodation. However, she must be careful not to infringe on his privacy rights. She can ask if the bird is required because of a disability and how it helps him, but she cannot ask about the nature or extent of his disability.

  3. True - To be considered a reasonable request for assistance animal accommodation, the request must meet two criteria: (1) the person has a disability and (2) the animal is needed to assist with the disability.

  4. True - An individual making a request for reasonable accommodation of an assistance animal should include a letter or other document from a therapist or other medical professional verifying the need for the assistance animal. This is to provide proof that the animal is not just a pet, but a necessary part of their treatment or ability to function with their disability.
