The Emotional Support Animal Letter
An ESA letter is a document from a licensed mental health professional that confirms your pet provides therapeutic benefit. It unlocks your rights under the Fair Housing Act.
What Is an Emotional Support Animal?
An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is a companion animal that provides comfort and emotional support to individuals living with a mental health condition. Unlike service dogs, ESAs do not require specialized training — their presence alone provides therapeutic benefit.
With a valid ESA letter from a licensed mental health professional, you are protected under the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA). Landlords must make reasonable accommodations and cannot charge pet fees, deposits, or enforce breed and weight restrictions.
