Write a letter of proposal from the lawyer's perspective, giving recommendations on the matter expressed in the topic below.

Shelly Linder lives in an apartment complex with a no-pet policy. Linder asked if she could have an emotional-support animal and provided a letter from a licensed family and marriage therapist, which stated that Linder had a disability and required an emotional-support animal to help alleviate her symptoms. The letter did not identify a specific disability and the landlord (Adam Brown) subsequently requested more information from Linder. Linder did not provide any additional information and instead brought her cat into her apartment as her emotional-support animal. The landlord discovered the cat on the premises. The landlord wants to file a lawsuit against Linder but he does not know how the process is organized.

Dear Adam Brown,

I am writing this letter in response to your inquiry regarding a potential lawsuit against your tenant, Shelly Linder. I understand that you have a no-pet policy in your apartment complex, but Linder has requested an exception for an emotional-support animal and provided a letter from a licensed therapist indicating her need for the animal.
Based on the information provided, I would like to make the following recommendations in this matter.
Firstly, it is important to note that under the Fair Housing Act (FHA), a landlord must make reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, including allowing emotional-support animals in no-pet policy apartments. Therefore, it is possible that Linder's request for an emotional-support animal could be considered a reasonable accommodation under the FHA.
Additionally, it is important to consider the specifics of Linder's situation, including the validity of the letter from the therapist and whether the animal is actually providing support for a disability. A court could find that the letter is sufficient evidence of Linder's disability and need for the animal, or it could find that the letter is insufficient and request additional information.
Given the complex nature of these types of cases, I would recommend that you consult with an attorney experienced in handling Fair Housing Act and emotional-support animal cases before pursuing a lawsuit against Linder.
In conclusion, I hope this information has been helpful and I am available to provide further assistance should you require it.
