Assistance pets

i've read the Alaska State Landlord Tenant Act but i have an additional question about assistance pets. The line that states "that landlords who receive subsidies must, under most circumstances, permit service animals to live in a rental unit" is confusing. If I, as a landlord of a small triples, do NOT receive federal or state subsidies does that mean I am exempt from having to allow service or assistance pets in my building?

Yes. That's what it says. Additionally, "Service" animals and "Emotional Support" animals are two separate issues. "Service" animal are ordered by a Professional Health Care Individual (Doctor) and fall under ADA rules. "Emotional Support" animals do not and therefore are considered pets for all purposes.
