ESA Apartment & Rentals

An emotional support animal (ESA) letter is a document written by a licensed mental health professional that verifies an individual's need for an ESA to alleviate symptoms of a mental or emotional disability. The benefits of an ESA letter include:

  1. Housing accommodations: An ESA letter can help individuals with emotional disabilities to live in housing that is otherwise not pet-friendly. Landlords are required by law to allow ESAs in their properties, even if they have a "no pets" policy.

  2. Emotional support: ESAs can be any breed, they can provide emotional support and companionship to individuals with emotional or mental disabilities. Having an ESA can help reduce anxiety, depression, and stress levels, and provide a sense of comfort and security.

  3. Reduced stigma: Having an ESA letter can help reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues by providing documentation of the individual's need for emotional support.

It is important to note that an ESA letter does not provide the same rights as a service animal, which is specifically trained to perform tasks that assist a person with a disability.

A psychiatric service dog (PSD) letter is a document written by a licensed mental health professional that verifies an individual's need for a PSD to alleviate symptoms of a mental or emotional disability. The benefits of a PSD letter include:

  1. Assistance with daily tasks: PSDs are specifically trained to perform tasks that assist their owner with their mental or emotional disability. These tasks may include alerting their owner to an impending panic attack, interrupting self-harming behaviors, reminding their owner to take medication, and guiding their owner during times of disorientation.

  2. Improved quality of life: PSDs can improve the quality of life of individuals with mental or emotional disabilities by providing emotional support, reducing anxiety and depression, and increasing independence and self-confidence.

  3. Legal protections: PSDs have legal protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Fair Housing Act (FHA). This means that PSDs are allowed to accompany their owner in public places and live in housing that is otherwise not pet-friendly without facing discrimination.

It is important to note that PSDs are different from emotional support animals (ESAs) and require specialized training to perform tasks that assist their owner with their mental or emotional disability.
