                                 Re: The Americans with Disabilities
                                     Act("AWDA") and assistance animals


Dear Mr. Breen:


      Respectfully, I request technical assistance regarding the 
Americans with Disabilities Act("AWDA") of 1990, regarding physically 
handicapped people, especially the elderly and pets(i.e. cats) and 
landlords, and their to ban assistance animals of any kind, so long as 
they do not violate the rights of neighbors by noise, smells and other 
problems.


      The technical assistance that I respectfully request, are:

                        1.   What determines noise, smells and other 
problems levels?

                        2.   What constitutes other problems and 
determines at what point neighbors rights may be violated?

                        3.   What technical assistance can I actually 
receive from the Justice Department or other federal agency(ies) and 
State of Florida agency(ies)--please specify name, address, and 
telephone number(if possible, their toll free telephone number) if the 
landlord violates the Americans With Disabilities Act?

                        4.   What other laws, statutes, etc. for the 
physically disabled and/or elderly applying to abuse of the elderly 
and/or the physically disabled handicapped apply to restraining 
landlords threatening the elderly and/or physically handicapped over 
assistance animals(i.e. cats) as an example?

                        5.   Please send literature or copies of the 
Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990; title and Register regarding 
assistance animals and the landlord/tenant situation.


                        6.    In general, how does the Americans with 
Disabilities Act protect the elderly and/or physically handicapped(who 
may or may not be elderly) from evictions by landlords?

            I know that I have asked a lot from you, but the need is 
real and I hope you will do what you can to assist me in this matter.


            Thank you for your cooperation and early reply.




                                        Sincerely,
