I was able to move into a condo that does not technically allow pets because of having the ESA papers. I now have my dream condo that I am able to share with both of my babies! It would not feel like a home without them!
The "pet friendly" filter is the most expensive button on the listings site.
Tap it and watch your options shrink. The places left over often want a pet deposit, monthly pet rent, and breed or weight rules on top.
An ESA letter changes the category your pet is in. Not a pet.
An emotional support animal, recognized in a letter from a licensed healthcare professional. Most housing situations that would otherwise restrict pets may have to consider accommodating an ESA, and most pet fees and deposits may not apply.
I was a little skeptical about how an ESA letter would nullify my pet deposit and fees in my new apartment, but it did! No monthly fees and no deposits, which saved me hundreds! Experience is fast and I highly recommend if you're considering an ESA for travel and housing.
A real letter. Not a certificate you print.

I was panicking when I had to move to a new state and the place I was renting wouldn't allow pets. I didn't want to give my cat away as she does help me in ways as an ESA, so when I came across this ad, I immediately filled out the paperwork and she was approved in less than 24 hours!

No issues, my ESA letter was honored and approved for several rental homes.

I am 74 and getting ready to move into a rental that does not allow pets. I filled out all of the required paperwork and qualified for an emotional pet. I was approved. I submitted my paperwork to my landlord and am allowed to have my pet free of charge. It was simple.

The whole thing maybe took 30 minutes — extremely helpful. I would recommend anyone with animals do this as soon as possible.

Common Questions
The letter is yours, not tied to one address, so it stays valid as you look. Many people complete the evaluation while they search so the letter is ready when an application is. Timing your lease is your call; we can only tell you how fast the letter side moves: if clinically approved, in as soon as 24-48 hours.*
Most housing situations that would otherwise restrict pets may have to consider accommodating an ESA, even in buildings with no-pet policies. The housing provider reviews each request; it is not automatic.
Under the Fair Housing Act, breed, size, and weight restrictions typically don't apply once a housing provider approves your ESA accommodation request.
This surprises a lot of people — but under the Fair Housing Act, pet rent, pet deposits, and pet fees may not apply to qualified emotional support animals once your accommodation request is approved. ESAs are not considered pets under federal housing law.
If clinically approved, your ESA letter can be delivered digitally in as soon as 24-48 hours. Some states have specific timing requirements.*
Then you do not pay. Approval is a real clinical decision by a licensed healthcare professional, and if you are not approved, you receive a 100% refund, including any evaluation fees.
The letter is issued by a licensed healthcare professional in your state, with their license number and signature on it. That is verifiable, and it is the difference between an ESA letter and a novelty certificate. Registration, certifications, and ID cards from online databases are not legally recognized.
