What is an ESA letter?
An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letter is a document signed by a licensed mental health professional confirming that you have a diagnosed condition and that your animal provides meaningful therapeutic support.
Under the Fair Housing Act, a valid ESA letter may allow you to live with your animal in housing that otherwise restricts pets — without additional fees. It is not the same as a service animal designation, and eligibility is determined through a clinical assessment.
