According to the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, the landlord can only determine whether an emotional support or service animal is “dangerous or likely to cause property damage” based on the animal’s behavior rather than on stereotypes about its breed. Emotional support animals assist with emotional regulation for people with conditions like depression or anxiety.
