I’m confused, you said it doesn’t require a change to the no pet policy under the law... but according to HUD’s website it does (with very rare exceptions that I know my landlord does not fit under). Where do you gather they are not required to make an exception for my ESA? HUD even states they will pursue legal action, at their expense and none of mine, if they discriminate and do not make an exception. Can you specify where you got this info?

I also have emailed my landlord the letter from my doctor and requested accommodations. Am I supposed to wait for a reaponse? I know the only option is for them to make an exception but do I have to wait until that is granted even though I have sent in my documents proving my ESA.

So your breaking your lease 3 months early and want to go the route of forcing the landlord to accept your ESA? Why not just wait until you move out?
I could also spin this around as “it’s only 30 days, so why can’t my landlord make an exception for such a short timeframe — especially considering it is legally required AND for a documented medical condition.” I am not inconveniencing anyone by asking for a small exception that will only last about 30 days...
