Answered your question and you outed yourself so win/win? Didn’t think it required a New York Times review but: My wife and I like nice restaurants all over the country. It’s slim picking in The SGF, so we tried Ocean Zen after we closed a big business deal. The drinks were watered down but still pricey, the scallops were badly over cooked and the filet mignon was horrible, I’ve had better $15 steaks in a bar. You might enjoy if you have a taste for boot🙃. So not worth $$$$ price point. THEN they bring in Cancun Cruise and the rest of the goons that are cool with overthrowing the government…hard pass.

Pretty mediocre, but pricey. Then they host the insurrectionist…

New records?

I was just about to say ah where’s his railroad??? Data would be more beautiful with the privately held tossed in.

Here’s your solution; you have to pay the taxes at the dealership. The reason most don’t get plates is they don’t have the tax money. Dealerships don’t want to collect is because they would sell fewer/cheaper cars.

You still need a medical professional to say that you have a physical or mental condition that a service animal can be trained a task to help you with. I know that rubs some people the wrong way but it’s a fact, Jack. Lots of well meaning people for financial or other reasons try to circumvent the process and make it extremely hard for people with legitimate disabilities to get the accommodations the need and rightfully deserve. That’s why I’ve been a little gruff in this post. So many people want a pet and lie to landlords about this stuff. Then the landlords get jaded and people that need ESAs an SAs get a hard time.

Yankton Sothern , Sothern Plumbing (yes spelled that way) is home town local and very good. Will treat you honestly.

Sweet, gotcha. If you have fewer than 5 properties, you are basically in the clear. If you have 5 or more, Fair Housing, ADA, DOJ OCR, etc come into play. There’s simple one page form letters that are extremely easy to get for Emotional Support Animals. This is what you will see 95% of the time, some legit, some not. Tenants know it’s an easy way around no pets/ pets deposits. You can’t charge a deposit or ban the animal. Service Animals are treated the same I.e. fair housing, but are a much more stringent program. “Real” Service Animal have very extensive and often expensive training to do specific tasks for the disabled person. No one with a “Real” service animal would have a need to try to buffalo you about it.

Yes. ESA’s are not the same as SA’s. I am trying to help, but can’t figure out what you are trying to accomplish. If your landlord or potential landlord doesn’t allow pets or charges a pet deposit… you are allowed by law to have a ESA or a SA. There’s paperwork from your medical provider or therapist that states you need a ESA or A SA. It’s not complicated, it very simple. For the life of me, I can’t locate the problem. BTW I’m very well versed in ADA (1990. & 2010), am an advocate, been on the disabled side of lawsuits, build accessible housing. If you are being honest about your need….there’s no barrier to your accommodation. If you are not, ESA is the way to go. Any Joe can claim to be your therapist and write you a note that you have some obscure ailment.

Can I ask why someone with a legit ADA recognized service animal wouldn’t have documentation for it? It seems OP knows the difference between a SA and an ESA but really really doesn’t want to share with their landlord?

This is the closest answer. While there are differences between Service Animals and Emotional Support Animals, if the landlord has a no pet or pet deposit policy, you have to have the paperwork. Period. With the paperwork, the landlord has to allow the animal and can’t change a fee or deposit. Also keep in mind that you are responsible for the animal and any damage it does.
Plus in Springfield you have to comply with Pit Bull regulations and vaccines.
