Housing

HF 688 modifies Minnesota's housing law to include specific protections for individuals training service dogs. It defines a "service dog in training" as a dog actively trained under accredited organizations (like Assistance Dogs International), granting these individuals full housing access without extra fees. Landlords or homeowners associations must accept written certification from the training organization but may require it, and accommodations end when training concludes. This directly affects people training service dogs and housing providers across Minnesota, ensuring equal access to housing during the training phase.
