Emotional Support Animals are generally accepted by Landlords with an ESA Letter from a licensed mental health professional. The difference between a Emotional Support Animal (ESA) and a Pet, is this letter from a Licensed Therapist. Your pet may already be acting as your ESA, however they are not recognized in the eye of the law until you qualify for an ESA letter.
An ESA letter is written by a mental health professional, states you suffer from an emotional disability (as per the American’s with Disabilities Act) and the ESA is a vital part of your well-being. The letter must be written on the therapist’s letterhead, be signed & dated and must include the physician’s license number along with the date & place the letter was issued. ESA letters are only valid for one year from the issued date.
