• Judge affirms finding of disability bias by landlord over dog (rilawyersweekly.com) — A Newport Superior Court judge has upheld a ruling that a Narragansett landlord discriminated against a family by charging extra fees for a service dog at a Glenview Avenue rental. For Narragansett renters and landlords, the decision reinforces that tenants with legitimate service animals cannot be hit with added deposits or monthly pet charges as a condition of housing.
