This is a complicated question that should be answered by a qualified attorney. Some Federal laws, such as the Fair Housing Amendments Act, Section 504 of the Rehab Act, or Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act may protect some people with disabilities from being evicted because of a service dog. California also has state laws concerning the rights of people with disabilities partnered with service animals. Only a qualified attorney can determine whether you qualify under any of these laws and whether or not your landlord is exempted under them.
