Our Other Residents
from The Brief · host Minnesota Multi Housing Association
In this episode of The Brief, Denise and Logan revisit the January/February 2024 issue of The Advocate—Our Other Residents—to explore why the trend of treating pets as family in rental housing isn’t going anywhere. From loneliness and emotional support animals to pet-forward design, policy enforcement, and fair housing compliance, the conversation highlights how animals increasingly shape leasing decisions, resident retention, and day-to-day operations in multifamily housing. Denise and Logan unpack practical insights from MHA contributors and use a real-world Ask mihra question to clarify what housing providers must do when service animals intersect with pet-free policies. 🐾 Our Other Residents, January/February 2024 issue of The Advocate: mmha.com 🤖 Ask mihra: mmha.com/mihra 🤝 Join the MHA Community & Member Network: mmha.com/Membership/Membership-Information 📅 2026 MHA Conferences & Events Calendar: mmha.com/events 🏦 Thank you to our Founding Sponsor – Citizens State Bank: csbnet.net
