Description
State Requirements

Must a property manager accept a tenant's emotional support animal, and under what conditions? What proof can a property manager or landlord require of a tenant who claims a need for an emotional support animal? What about homeowners associations—must accommodation be made in these communities?

This course explores the issues and options for landlords and property managers surrounding assistance animals, helping real estate professionals who represent them to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal access to housing in compliance with the law.

Course highlights include:

  • The evolving fair housing law
  • How the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act intersect--and don't
  • Types of assistance animals
  • How to handle reasonable requests for accommodation
  • Case studies and legal trends 
  • Examples and scenarios to help apply course content to real life

Note: This course does not meet NAR Fair Housing requirements.

Post-Licensing and First-Time Renewal: Newly licensed salespersons must complete the 25-hour Salesperson Post-License course in their first year of licensure. The 25-hour post-licensing course also counts as 9 hours towards fulfilling the continuing education requirement. Note: You will not receive the 9 hours of CE credit if your license has lapsed. To complete the CE renewal requirement, 27 additional continuing education hours must be taken to fulfill the 36-hour requirement; 3 mandatory hours on the topic of license law and 24 hours of elective credits.

Course Duplication: A student may repeat a course and receive credit as long it has been over 12 months since the course was last taken. A licensee’s renewal does not change the 12-month limitation on repeating a course.

Reporting: The state requires course completions to be reported to the state. We will report your course to the state upon completion.

Expiration Date of Course: Course expiration dates vary by course. Each individual course will have an expiration date listed in your account. See Terms & Conditions for more details.

Certificates: Immediately upon course completions, The CE Shop will provide students with an electronic copy of the course certificate of completion. Certificates will remain in your account for a minimum of five years, should you need additional copies at a later time. Please refer to your application to determine if you need to submit your certificate(s) of completion. Course completion dates are recorded using Central Standard Time. Please note that the date on your certificate of completion will reflect this.

Final Exams: Passing a final exam is not required to receive continuing education credit in Georgia, therefore our system is set up so that final exams can be passed with a 0% passing score.

License Renewal Process: The process to renew in this state is to log in to the licensing system online and follow the prompts to renew.
