ESA Laws in Tennessee
Tennessee Code § 66-28-406 includes an exception to policies that prohibit or limit, or require payment for, animals or pets for tenants or prospective tenants with a disability who require use of service animal or support animal. This protection goes hand in hand with federal laws that apply nationwide, namely the Fair Housing Act (FHA) under the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The Fair Housing Act protects Tennesseans with emotional support animals by protecting their right to live in housing with their ESA without being subject to “no-pet” building policies, pet rent, pet fees, pet deposits, breed restrictions, and weight restrictions. This is because this is considered to be “reasonable accomodation” under the law, which means that landlords cannot discriminate against ESA owners for requiring such accomodations.
FAQ About ESAs in Tennessee
1) Bonnaroo crowds make me anxious. Will an ESA help me?
Yes, an ESA can help you deal with anxiety provoked by crowds in general, but keep in mind that Bonnaroo does not allow ESAs to the festival grounds — only trained service animals are permitted. Similarly, if you’re planning on attending Bonnaroo and stay off-grounds in a hotel, be sure to check the specific hotel’s pet policy before booking. Consider a psychiatric service dog (PSD) if you need a trained dog to assist you in public settings.
2) Can I visit Graceland or the Stax Museum with an ESA?
No, both Graceland and the Stax Museum of American Soul Music prohibit pets inside their venues. The only kind of animals that can go into both museums are assistance animals, like psychiatric service dogs (PSDs), that are trained to help their handlers.
3) Can emotional support animals help me deal with Tennessee hurricanes and storms?
Yes, ESAs can definitely help you emotionally and mentally with living through Tennessee’s hurricane season. CDC guidelines recommend sheltering at home, specifically in a room with no windows or in a closet. 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 TN licensed mental health professionals to better assess your personal situation.
4) Can I get my Tennessee ESA letter online?
Yes, Tennessee allows its residents to get an ESA letter online as long as the person issuing the letter is a therapist, doctor, or other mental health professional licensed to practice in Tennessee and the letter meets all the legal requirements.
If you live in Tennessee and need an ESA letter, you’ve come to the right place. Each TN-licensed professional we work with is an expert in helping people like you protect your pet.
You’ll receive an evaluation that is fair and unbiased, and if the mental healthcare professional believes you stand to benefit from an emotional support animal, they’ll write you a legitimate ESA letter valid for Tennessee.
