Service animals vs. assistance animals… what is the difference between the two? How does it affect an owner of one of these animals when dining at a restaurant, riding public transportation, and most importantly, living in the home they deserve?

This podcast will answer these questions and more, as we delve into what you can do as a disabled tenant, or consumer when discriminated against based on your service or assistance animals. As well as what business owners and landlords need to know when handling these animals on their establishments. With our highly experienced and relevant speaker and guest, we will go over both the laws and cases as well as real-life situations that will matter to you and empower you to make a difference.
