What the evidence says
HUD's May 2026 enforcement guidance presumes housing requests for task-trained dogs are reasonable. Under the ADA, businesses can ask two questions and can't require documentation. Nevada's NRS chapter 426 and NRS 651.075 add state access rights, a ban on fees and deposits, and penalties for fraud.
Nevada service animal law
- NRS 651.075 protects people training a service animal, including employees doing so at work, from being refused entry or service
- Charging extra or taking a deposit for a service animal can leave a business paying actual damages, at least $750 in punitive damages, and legal fees
- NRS 426.805 makes fraudulent service animal claims a misdemeanor, with a fine of up to $500
- Nevada doesn't allow anyone to assume a service animal is dangerous just because it isn't muzzled
Public places under the ADA
Nevada businesses may ask only the ADA questions: is the dog needed because of a disability, and what task does it do. They can't demand a letter.
If you're refused housing in Nevada
The Nevada Equal Rights Commission handles housing complaints filed within one year. HUD handles federal complaints.
Prescription treatments are available only to eligible patients after a clinical evaluation by an independently licensed clinician.
