How do I approach the conversation of getting an emotional support dog to my landlord? Hi there, I’m currently renting in a student accommodation that has a strictly no pets rule. I know that my landlord is supposed to make a provision/exception as a emotional support dog is not technically a pet as long as I have a prescription from my therapist but I’m still worried. I have social anxiety and I just want to be prepared for every sort of outcome/topic. What are my rights (South Africa)? What can I expect? What are the laws? Any information or advice would be useful
