Under NH law, what is true about a landlord's "no pets" policy regarding a visually impaired person with a guide dog?

Under New Hampshire law, a landlord's "no pets" policy cannot apply to service animals, including guide dogs for visually impaired individuals. The law recognizes guide dogs as necessary aids for individuals with disabilities, thereby granting these individuals the right to have their guide dogs in rental properties regardless of a general "no pets" policy. This means that landlords must allow a visually impaired person to have a guide dog and cannot refuse to rent to them based on their policy about pets.

This understanding is grounded in fair housing laws, which protect the rights of individuals with disabilities. The intention is to ensure that those requiring assistance from service animals are not discriminated against based on arbitrary pet policies. Therefore, a landlord's refusal to rent to someone who has a guide dog would be in violation of these laws, making it clear that landlords must make accommodations for service animals.

The other options either misrepresent the law or misunderstand the protections in place for individuals with disabilities, emphasizing that landlords must comply with fair housing regulations that prioritize accessibility and support for tenants needing assistance animals.
