How It Works

Get an ESA Letter for Your Landlord in 3 Steps

An Emotional Support Animal Letter (ESA Letter) is a document from a licensed mental health care professional stating that the tenant requires an emotional support animal to alleviate symptoms of the tenant’s condition. If you qualify, you submit your ESA Letter to your landlord to gain access to housing rights.

Doing it right

Work With a Licensed Therapist Directly

ESA registration sites take your money and send you a PDF that confers no legal housing rights for you or your pet. That’s not how it works with ESA Doctors. ESA Doctors connects you with a licensed mental healthcare professional in your state who actually works with you directly. After you submit your order and answer a few questions, a real therapist connects with you personally. You will need to sign their consent form and schedule time to work with them directly. If they determine that you have a qualifying condition and that your pet alleviates your symptoms, they can write an ESA letter for you so you may get access to your entitled housing rights.

What’s Included

An ESA Letter Written That Will Actually Get Approved

ESA Doctors reports a 99% acceptance rate on the ESA letters written by the licensed healthcare professionals we work with. That number comes from real letters submitted to real landlords. An ESA letter is more than a note that says “this person has a pet.” It’s a formal document with specific parts, and if any part is missing, a landlord can reject it. With ESA Doctors, your letter will be complete:

  • Your therapist’s letterhead and license info. It includes their name, license number, state, and contact details, so your landlord can verify it’s real.The date it was issued. ESA letters can be renewed yearly
  • Your full name, matched to the person requesting housing rights.
  • Confirmation of your condition. A statement that you have a mental health condition that is covered under the Fair Housing Act.
  • Why you need the ESA. A short explanation of how your animal helps with your symptoms.
  • Legal backing. A reference to the Fair Housing Act, the law that protects your right to live with your ESA.
  • A signature and date from your licensed therapist, making it official.

This is the exact structure landlords and property managers expect to see. Nothing missing, nothing vague, a complete ESA Housing Letter that holds up when you hand it over. That’s the difference between an ESA letter that works and a fake ESA letter that gets you a denial and a headache.

Get an ESA Letter For Housing From Your Couch

Internet trolls love saying you can’t get an ESA Letter remotely, but they are wrong. You can get approved for an emotional support animal completely online. If a skeptic ever challenges you, tell them that HUD’s housing rules clearly support this statement. According to HUD, online healthcare professionals are just as legitimate as those you visit in an office, as long as they’re licensed and have actually evaluated your suitability for an emotional support animal. That means you can get an ESA letter online without ever leaving your home, just like you can get a prescription for medication these days with a telehealth appointment.

Support That Continues After You Get Your ESA Letter

Submitting your ESA letter to a landlord can feel intimidating, especially if you’re worried they’ll push back. The good news is that most landlords are well-versed in ESA Laws and will accept your reasonable accommodation request. However, we still see landlords push back on occasion. You will receive unlimited access to ESA Doctors’ support team. If your landlord has questions or resistance, you’re not handling it alone. You get a real support team, not just a document and a “good luck.”

Support That Continues Even If You Don't Qualify for an Emotional Support Animal

We don’t believe people pretend to need their Emotional Support Animals. If you have found us, we believe it’s because you know your pet is your ESA and you would benefit from having them qualify as your official Emotional Support Animal. But we can’t control if your licensed healthcare professional do not approve you. This is why we offer a full refund for people who aren’t approved. We take on the risk, you get the help you need.

Full Protection

Live Freely With Your Pet

Once you qualify, your ESA is protected under the Fair Housing Act, and you receive access to a lot more housing options. That means no “no pet” policy applies to you, and most landlords can’t charge you pet rent or pet deposits for your ESA. You keep your pet, keep your dream apartment, and keep the extra money in your pocket every month.
