ESA Laws in South Dakota
In South Dakota, the Fair Housing Act means landlords must allow emotional support animals. They can’t ask for extra pet fees, deposits, or rent. The law also makes sure breed and weight limits don’t apply, and no-pet rules can’t stop ESA owners from getting housing.

FAQ About ESAs in South Dakota
1) Can emotional support animals help during blizzards?
Yes, ESAs can ease isolation during South Dakota’s severe winter blizzards, which can shut down rural areas. The CDC recommends backup heat and supplies. Your ESA’s housing rights ensure they stay with you to combat loneliness. Contact our SD licensed mental health professionals for guidance.
2) The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally overwhelms me. Will an ESA help?
Yes, an ESA can reduce crowd anxiety, but the Rally only allows service animals in its main venues. Verify pet policies with local lodging if attending. A psychiatric service dog (PSD) could help in such chaotic settings.
3) Can I bring an ESA to Mount Rushmore?
No, Mount Rushmore National Memorial only permits service animals due to its historic significance and crowded visitor areas. ESAs are not allowed on the grounds. Learn more about PSDs here.
