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.

The provider must verify that you have an eligible mental health condition that is helped by the presence of an emotional support animal.
