You can turn your pet into a legally protected emotional support animal by getting an ESA letter from a licensed healthcare professional. That is the only way to qualify for an ESA under federal and state rules.
Emotional support animals are exempt from no-pet housing policies. They also do not have to comply with breed and size restrictions. In addition, landlords have to waive pet fees, pet deposits and pet application fees for tenants who have submitted an ESA letter.
To get an ESA letter you must first be evaluated by a licensed therapist, doctor or social worker. You can qualify for an ESA letter if you have certain conditions like depression, severe anxiety, PTSD, phobias, autism or learning disorders. The provider must verify that you have an eligible mental health condition that is helped by the presence of an emotional support animal.
