Topic: Protecting the rights of condo pet owners, including those who need a companion animal for health reasons. 

Condo Association Boards that vigorously enforce "no pet rules" typically contend that pets must be specifically trained for a certain type of disability in order to qualify as a support animal.  According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD),  this is not the case.  If the condo owner has an emotional disability and can prove that it's a disabling situation that the animal can  help ameliorate, the pet will qualify as an emotional support animal.  The Americans with  Disability Act defines physical and mental disabilities and states that reasonable accommodations must be made for people with disabilities.
