Frequently Asked Questions
Can landlords really not charge pet fees for ESAs?
Correct. Under the Fair Housing Act, emotional support animals are not considered pets. Landlords cannot charge pet deposits, pet rent, or other pet-related fees for ESAs. This applies to most housing, including apartments, condos, and single-family rentals.
How quickly can I get an ESA letter?
Most legitimate ESA letter services can connect you with a licensed mental health professional within 24-48 hours. If you qualify after your evaluation, you'll typically receive your letter the same day or next business day.
What if my landlord refuses to accept my ESA letter?
If you have a legitimate ESA letter from a licensed mental health professional, your landlord is legally required to make reasonable accommodations under the Fair Housing Act. If they refuse, you can file a complaint with HUD or consult with a fair housing attorney.
