Pets and Emotional Support Animals in NYC No-Pets Buildings (Part 2: Emotional Support Animals)

May 27, 2025

In Episode 47 we explore the fact that New Yorkers love their pets and many people in these difficult times need an Emotional Support Animal. Unfortunately, many landlords do not allow animals in apartments, but the landlord’s objection is not always enough to legally prevent a tenant from having an animal in their apartment. There is a great deal of confusion surrounding the laws about pets and Emotional Support Animals in no-pets buildings in New York City. Often tenants make mistakes regarding the adoption of an animal, leading to a great deal of stress and cost. In Episode 47 we embed the second half of a class I taught on Pets and Emotional Support Animals in no-pets buildings, so hopefully tenants can avoid painful mistakes. Do not forget to go back and listen to the first half of the class in Episode 46.
