August 12, 2025 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (PDT)

Description

Pets, ESAs & Service Animals: Legal Obligations for California Landlords

Presented by Partnered Attorney & AACSC Board Member, Casper Yen

Confused about what you can and can’t do when it comes to animals on your rental property? You’re not alone. 

In this must-attend class designed specifically for independent housing providers, partnered attorney Casper Yen of The Lew Firm will break down the complex legal landscape surrounding pets, Emotional Support Animals (ESAs), and service animals — and how to navigate each category without putting yourself at legal risk. 

You’ll learn: 

  • The key differences between pets, ESAs, and service animals — and why those distinctions matter 
  • What California and federal laws actually require of housing providers (and what they don’t) 
  • How to legally and appropriately verify a tenant’s ESA or service animal request 
  • How to prevent fraud while remaining fully compliant with fair housing laws 
  • Best practices for building clear, enforceable policies and lease terms around animals 

Whether you're drafting your pet policy or facing a request you’re not sure how to handle, this class will give you the knowledge and confidence to protect your property — and your peace of mind. 

Space is limited. Register now to get ahead of legal pitfalls and build smarter policies.

New Hybrid Format:
This class will be offered in a hybrid setting—join us in person for an exclusive, limited-seating experience at AACSC’s Education Center, or attend live via Zoom from the comfort of your home or office. Whether on-site or online, you’ll get full access to the presentation, and Q&A!
