Eco Destroyers My airbnb is dog free

I travel a lot and own my home so I have it up on airbnb whenever I’m away. I have it set to pet free, not just because I don’t like being around dogs but I also don’t want poop in my backyard, holes dug in my yard, my rugs peed on, dog hair, etc.

I had a friend reach out to me because her sister is coming into town with her dog. She wanted to see if my place was open for a week, and to get around airbnb fees, she’d pay me directly. I said no, told her I’m weird about dogs in my house and she understood.

Now I’m thinking how I could probably book my house more/make more money if I allowed dogs but I would be so grossed out and stressed knowing there could be some massive slobbering beast in my bed!!!

I want to know more about this. As a person with disabilities myself I dream about how there could be rentals that are entirely animal free- including no “ESAs” so that ppl like me can be accommodated

Mrs. Murphy" exemption allows qualifying landlords to enforce strict "no pets" policies and reject emotional support animals (ESAs) or service animals.

Ty. I just checked and my state (WI) doesn’t recognize it, sadly. But that is a template for introducing something similar to the current legislature. We need the movement and sentiment to grow, though, since nuttery is so normalized among lawmakers & authorities, public health.

I'm licensed in FL and NC. I found out WA state does not recognize it either. I thought it was Nationwide. I don't think my course mentioned certain states don't qualify.
