I used to have a hearing dog (I'm in CA) and I understand the rights under ADA. Your landlord cannot evict you for having a hearing dog. Under the law, a hearing dog is considered "medical equipment" since we need the dog to be safe, and etc. A landlord could not evict someone for having a pacemaker - same thing. Your landlord CAN sue for monetary reimbursement for any damages the dog causes to the home/apartment - but the burden of proof lies with your landlord. I think your landlord is trying to harass you - to get you to leave (stay strong!) If this continues - you can take landlord to court for harassment and discrimination.
