In Ohio, your ESA housing rights rest first on state law. Ohio Revised Code § 4112.02(H) makes it an unlawful discriminatory practice to deny housing or refuse a reasonable accommodation because of disability, which covers emotional support animals. This state protection is enforced by the Ohio Civil Rights Commission and remains fully active. The federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3604) provides the same obligation, and that statute has not changed.
Landlords in Cuyahoga Falls who refuse a valid ESA letter or continue charging pet fees may be in violation of ORC § 4112.02 and federal law. Complaints can be filed with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission.
