Make Notes On Legal Utah Pets Forms For Free

Utah recognizes emotional support animals under the Fair Housing Act, which prevents a person with a disability from discrimination from landlords. Even if pets are not allowed in the housing, landlords must permit emotional support animals and make reasonable accommodation.

In general, a Pet Agreement should include the names and addresses of both parties (including the city and state), information about the pet (such as whether it is a cat or dog, and the breed), and any additional terms that you would like to include, such as a visitation schedule or who is responsible for any care ...

Under the federal Fair Housing Act, Utah landlords may not discriminate against those who require the use of service animals or emotional support animals, although Utah only recognizes dogs as service animals.

A qualified service animal is a dog that has been trained or is being trained to do work or tasks for the benefit of someone with a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or mental disability. Animals other than dogs cannot be service animals under Utah law.

Utah doesn't put any security deposit limits on what landlords can charge for a pet fee or security deposit. Generally, Utah landlords charge one to two months' rent as the security deposit and may withhold another month's rent for the pet deposit.

Pursuant to the Utah Fair Housing Act and the federal Fair Housing Act, this rule defines the circumstances in which an individual with a disability is entitled to an assistance animal as a reasonable accommodation in a dwelling that would otherwise restrict or prohibit the presence of an animal.
