Work directly with a licensed healthcare professional to see if you qualify for an Emotional Support Animal Letter (ESA Letter). An ESA Letter is a document written by a licensed healthcare professional confirming to your housing provider that you have a qualifying condition and that an animal helps alleviate your symptoms. A legitimate ESA Letter will confer housing rights to you in compliance with Fair Housing.
Select the Plan right for you.
Difficult landlord with special requests? We can accommodate.
Work directly with a licensed healthcare professional in your state.
Turnaround time is 1-5 business days, never work with a therapist that promises instant approvals.
If you qualify, a signed ESA letter is delivered electronically.
If you do not qualify, we will refund your money and cover the cost out of pocket.
Before you show your ESA Letter to your landlord and let them know about your Emotional Support Animal, you need to know that the document you have in hand will let you legally live with your pet. ESA Doctors connects you directly with a licensed mental healthcare professional (LMHCP) in your state. You will sign their consent form and schedule an appointment with them directly. No shortcuts, no instant approvals.
If they determine that you have a qualifying condition and that your pet alleviates your symptoms, they will write an ESA letter for you. We are here to support you throughout the process but we are not involved in determining if your LMCHP approves you for an Emotional Support Animal.
An ESA Letter for housing is formal document. If it isn’t properly written, a landlord can reject your request. The below must be included on your ESA Letter before you request reasonable accommodations from your landlord:
A few situations where an ESA Letter doesn’t work:
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.
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.
Submitting your ESA letter to a landlord can feel intimidating. In the last few years, we have noticed most landlords are well-versed in ESA Laws and will accept your reasonable accommodation request promptly.
However, we still see landlords push back on occasion. If that happens to you, you will receive unlimited access to ESA Doctors’ support team. You won’t be alone.
We believe people meaningfully benefit from having Emotional Support Animals. 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.
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 in most cases, 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.
