Legal Question in Disability Law in California

Unless you actually obtain proper CA state certification of disability and need for a specific category of 'service animal', and then obtain a properly certified trained 'service animal' with proper vest or other required markings, and keep those certificates in possession to show anyone requesting proof, you have no special protection from decisions to exclude animals by any business, including your landlord. You have not indicated you are in compliance with those rules. Go back to your doctor and seek his help in compliance if he knows how, or find one that does. IF you can come into compliance, then the 'service animal' certification means the landlord may not charge extra or discriminate against you, even in pet free housing.
