Best Answer

A cane is appropriate for a person with good strength and endurance, whose balance is impaired either due to slowed movements, loss of isolated muscle control, or ataxia, or who has pain upon full weight bearing on one side.

Can a condo require home owners insurance for a service dog that's just visiting the grounds?

No. That would be no different that requiring home owners insurance for someone visiting who uses a wheel chair, crutches, cane, or other assistive device because of their disability.


Do you have to allow access to service dogs at non profit timeshare?

Short answer: YES. A Service Dog is used by a person with a disability as an Assistive Device--would the person be denied access if they were in a wheelchair? using a cane? using hearing aids? They wouldn't, therefore access for the person with a disability using an assistive device should not be dis-allowed due to the nature of the device (being a Service Dog). However, if the non-profit timeshare is a religious entity (a church or associated buildings), the answer becomes more problematic, and not easily answered through Answers.com. It would be best to look for legal guidance.
