Salt Lake City apartment resident Wanda Howard, who is disabled, wanted a cat.
Her doctor, who thought an emotional support animal would help Howard, wrote her a prescription for one and a letter to her landlord verifying Howard’s disability. When the landlord required a $300 deposit for the animal, Howard turned to the Disability Law Center, which informed the landlord such a demand is illegal under federal law.
