The Fair Housing Act protects your right to live with an emotional support animal, even in buildings with no-pet policies.
What the Fair Housing Act covers
Under the Fair Housing Act, an emotional support animal is treated as a reasonable accommodation, not a pet. That means standard no-pet clauses, breed restrictions, and weight limits do not apply once you provide valid documentation.
What your landlord can and cannot ask
- They can ask for a letter from a licensed mental health professional.
- They cannot ask for details about your diagnosis.
- They cannot charge pet rent, deposits, or breed-based fees for your ESA.
