ESA Laws in Tennessee
The Minnesota Human Rights Act offers ESA owners protections beyond the scope of the FHA, since it applies to not only housing but also, in some cases, employment.
Fair Housing Act protections ensure that Minnesotans with emotional support animals can keep their emotional support animals in their homes without facing discriminatory pet policies. The law classifies this as reasonable accommodation, meaning Minnesota residents cannot be charged pet deposits, fees, or monthly pet rent for their emotional support animals. Additionally, landlords must waive breed and weight restrictions, and cannot enforce no-pet policies against ESA owners.
FAQ About ESAs in Minnesota
1) Can emotional support animals help me deal with polar vortex days and SAD?
Yes, ESAs can definitely help you emotionally and mentally with living through Minnesota’s winters. CDC guidelines recommend sheltering at home, staying dry, and keeping an extra heat/energy source on hand. Since ESAs have protected housing rights, qualifying a dog, cat, or rabbit (but also any other animal that provides you emotional support) could alleviate the distress caused by frequent storms. Get in touch with one of our MN licensed mental health professionals to better assess your personal situation.
2) The Minnesota State Fair crowds cause me anxiety. Will an ESA help?
Yes, an ESA can help with general crowd-related anxiety, but note that the Minnesota State Fair only permits trained service animals on the fairgrounds. If you’re staying at nearby accommodations during the fair, verify their pet policies before booking. The fair draws nearly 2 million visitors annually, making it one of the largest state fairs in the country. Consider a psychiatric service dog (PSD) if you need trained assistance in crowded public settings.
3) Can I visit Mall of America or the Minnesota Science Museum with an ESA?
No, both the Mall of America and the Science Museum of Minnesota only permit service animals inside their facilities. While the Mall of America does have a designated pet relief area outside, ESAs are not allowed in shops or attractions. Only trained service animals, including psychiatric service dogs (PSDs), are permitted. Learn more about what qualifies for a psychiatric service dog here.
