Hello! My name is Debra (formerly known as Legal Ease). Thank you for your question. I'm reviewing it now, and will post back again shortly.

I'm sorry to hear of this difficult situation. You are not correct and you can be evicted even if you have animals.
If you have a medical report that says you need your horse because of a disability then your landlord owes you a duty of reasonable accommodation. This means that the landlord has to accommodate your need for this therapy animal if it is considered reasonable and if it does not cause the landlord to undergo undue hardship. If the landlord will not do this and can essentially you can file a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal.
Here is a link to their website. You can call them to discuss this:

Does that clarify the law and help as a starting point?
Please feel free to post back with any follow-up questions you may have. If you don't have any then I hope I have earned a 5 star rating but if you don't feel that I have please don't hesitate to reply back and let me know what more I can do to assist you. Finally, please know that even after you rate me I will be here for you and you can ask follow-up questions if you think of them later on at no further charge of course.

No. Your doctor just has to write a letter.

You file a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal.
Debra, Expert
Yes that is possible.

I don't know. I don't work for the site. I am a lawyer in Toronto and the site is based in the US. Could you please ask Customer service?
Debra, Expert
But it's not me that you have to say this to because I don't work for the site. You have to call customer service. The site is in San Francisco and I am in Canada.
