About Emotional Support Animals In Iowa

Iowa’s Assistance Animal Act aims to protect individuals with disabilities or disability-related needs from housing discrimination. The act prohibits landlords from denying housing to such individuals based on their need for an assistance animal.

Defining Assistance Animal: Under the Assistance Animal Act, an assistance animal is defined as an animal that qualifies as a reasonable accommodation under the federal Fair Housing Act or section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Unlike service animals, assistance animals do not require specific training but provide support by alleviating one or more identified symptoms or effects of a person’s disability.

Confidentiality of Medical Information: The Assistance Animal Act prohibits licensed medical providers from disclosing the diagnosis or severity of a person’s disability or any related medical records to a landlord without the patient’s consent. Violations of this provision may result in disciplinary action by the licensing board.

Misrepresentation of Using a Service or Assistance Animal: Knowingly and willfully misrepresenting the use of a service animal or an assistance animal is considered a simple misdemeanor in Iowa. Individuals found guilty of this offense may face fines and possible imprisonment.

Landlord’s Rights and Documentation: While landlords must generally allow assistance animals, they may deny an animal if it poses a direct threat to the safety, health, or property of others. Additionally, landlords may request reasonable documentation supporting a person’s disability or disability-related need for an assistance animal. However, they are prohibited from requesting information that discloses the diagnosis or severity of the person’s disability or any related medical records.

Civil Sanctions for Misrepresentation: If a person requests to keep more than one assistance animal, the landlord may ask for information regarding the specific need for each animal. Landlords may also require proof of licensing and vaccination for each assistance animal. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in denial of the request for an exception to the pet policy.

Iowa’s Assistance Animal Act ensures that individuals with disabilities or disability-related needs are protected from housing discrimination. By understanding the rights and responsibilities outlined in this act, both landlords and tenants can create an inclusive and accommodating housing environment. This act promotes fairness and equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities to access suitable housing with their assistance animals.

Are emotional support animals considered service dogs in Iowa?

No, emotional support animals in Iowa are not categorized as service animals. Service animals are specially trained to perform specific tasks for individuals with disabilities, while ESAs primarily offer emotional comfort to individuals with mental health disorders.
