Emotional Support Animals and Housing
Asking to Live With Your Pet
The federal Fair Housing Act lets renters with a disability ask their landlord for a reasonable accommodation to live with an assistance animal, including in no-pet housing, and an ESA Home Letter documents your need. Whether the landlord can still charge pet fees or apply breed rules now depends on your state and the type of housing: HUD withdrew its earlier guidance in 2025 and, under its May 2026 memo, finds a violation only where the animal is trained to provide disability-related assistance.
Emotional Support Animal Home Letter
All ESA letters are not equal, and not all landlords or apartment complexes accept every therapist-signed letter as proof that your pet is your Emotional Support Animal, and that's why it is important to choose the right service to write you a legal, and valid ESA letter for your pet in your rental residence.

ESA Home Letter + Assessment.
An ESA housing letter written and signed by a licensed mental health professional after a short online assessment. Under the Fair Housing Act, most landlords must grant a reasonable accommodation for a valid emotional support animal, which usually means waiving pet fees, pet deposits, and no-pet or breed restrictions. Your letter is listed in our verification database, so your landlord can confirm it is authentic. If you don't qualify after your consultation, you get a refund.
