Service Animals

[Keisha35]

Is there a way I can charge a deposit for service animals?

No, Airbnb will not allow this.

Hi @Keisha35 

why would you want to charge extra for a service animal?

[Mark116]

@Kevin1322   Probably because they still have hair and shed, and they still  have claws that can scratch furniture,  the fact that they are not pets doesn't eliminate the negatives that come with animals or the extra cleaning required.

@Keisha35  No, you can neither charge extra or refuse a service animal or an emotional support animal.

I know it differs from country to country but isn't that sort of thing built into your overheads. A certain percentage of people will have service  animals, most likely a companion animal or guide dog.

There but for the grace of god and all that.

Is it all about the money?
