  Subpart C_Pet Ownership for the Elderly or Persons With Disabilities

 

Sec.  5.359  Housing programs: Rejection of units by applicants for 

tenancy.



    (a) An applicant for tenancy in a project for the elderly or persons 

with disabilities may reject a unit offered by a project owner if the 

unit is in close proximity to a dwelling unit in which an existing 

tenant of the project owns or keeps a common household pet. An 

applicant's rejection of a unit under this section shall not adversely 

affect his or her application for tenancy in the project, including (but 

not limited to) his or her position on the project waiting list or 

qualification for any tenant selection preference.

    (b) Nothing in this subpart C imposes a duty on project owners to 

provide alternate dwelling units to existing or prospective tenants 

because of the proximity of common household pets to a particular unit 

or the presence of such pets in the project.
