No. You may tell the landlord before or after you sign your lease. Can I be evicted for violating my lease's pet policy if my pet serves as an assistance animal? No. Federal law does not allow your landlord to evict you for having a service or emotional support animal. My landlord won't allow my assistance animal. How do I file a complaint? If you believe your landlord unlawfully denied a request for an assistance animal, you can file a complaint (https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/online-complaint) with the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.
