Requirements:

• You are legally REQUIRED to have a letter from a licensed medical professional stating that your animal is an essential part of treatment for your disability. Your landlord is allowed to ask you to produce this document and will deny your emotional support animal if you do not have it.
• Your emotional support animal does not need to be specially trained. As long as your ESA helps with your disability then you qualify.
• While vests, collar tags, collars, leashes, etc. are not required, these accessories ensure maximum visibility and recognition and drastically reduce hassles from your landlord and neighbors.

Benefits:

• Landlords are required to make a reasonable accommodation for a person who requires an emotional support animal that allows that person to live with the animal, even if the landlord has a no-pet policy.
• No breed or weight restrictions.
• You can NOT be charged a pet deposit or pet rent for an emotional support animal. On average this is a savings of over $500.
• As of January 11th, 2021 emotional support animals are no longer recognized by airlines and are treated as regular pets.
