I. Cultivating Compliance: Navigating Assistance Animal Requests for Stronger Operations
In 2025, HUD withdrew its 2020 guidance on assistance animals, creating uncertainty for property managers navigating requests in California and across the U.S. This panel brings together experts in single-family property management, fair housing law, and regulatory compliance to provide clear, practical guidance on operating in this evolving landscape. Moderated by industry leader John Bradford, the session will explore the operational and legal implications of the withdrawal, including how to evaluate requests, document approvals, and maintain consistent, compliant processes. Panelists will share real-world examples and case studies from California property management, highlighting common pitfalls, risk scenarios, and effective mitigation strategies.
