Abstract

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recently withdrew two guidance documents from 2013 and 2020 that purported to clarify how HUD would enforce Fair Housing Act claims seeking exemptions from pet restrictions for emotional support animals. In its September 2025 notice, the HUD explained that it withdrew the documents as part of a change in departmental statutory interpretation.
