Carol OttHOST
So let's start off by, I'm gonna ask you, can you explain this new phenomenon and how this complicates

Eric GoidelGUEST
the issue? So Carol, over the years, I've been doing this for 40 years now, I'd say there are three categories of shareholders or prospective shareholders who might want to get a reasonable accommodation for a pet in a no pet building.

Eric GoidelGUEST
And when I'm talking about this with you today, I'm referring to emotional support animals as distinguished from service animals that provide some life function where obviously there's no there's no issue with that.

Eric GoidelGUEST
So, you know, the first category would have been shareholders who've been a shareholder for a number of years and all of a sudden they have a need, they have a claimed need for an emotional support animal.

Eric GoidelGUEST
Those tend to be very legitimate because these people have honored the no pet policy of the apartment corporation for many years and something has changed in their life that warrants them making that request.

Eric GoidelGUEST
Then we had a category which I saw, you know, starting a few years ago of people shareholders who were brand new shareholders who just came into the co-op maybe a month or two after closing, making the request.

Carol OttHOST
Have you had clients where this has gone to the Human Rights Commission with a prospective purchaser?
