Denied for your pet or paying extra pet rent?
Support Pets gives you ESA documents for up to two pets. Under the Fair Housing Act, landlords must make accommodations for them.
Stop hunting for "pet-friendly" listings. With an Official ESA® letter from Support Pets, breed, weight, and no-pet restrictions don't apply.
In many housing situations, people with an ESA don't have to pay pet deposits, pet rent, or other pet fees under the Fair Housing Act.
Pit bull, German Shepherd, Rottweiler? Breed and size limits don't apply to ESAs. Our letters help landlords approve your pet fast.
The Fair Housing Act says landlords must make accommodations for ESAs. They aren't pets, so most pet fees and rules don't apply.

Common Questions
Does the Fair Housing Act apply to all housing?
The Fair Housing Act applies to most housing in the United States — including apartments, condos, and rental homes. There are a few limited exceptions, such as owner-occupied buildings with four or fewer units, but for most renters these protections are available.
Can a landlord charge pet rent or pet fees for an emotional support animal?
This surprises a lot of people — but under the Fair Housing Act, pet rent, pet deposits, and pet fees do not apply to qualified emotional support animals. ESAs are not considered pets under federal housing law.
Can my landlord deny my ESA based on breed or size?
No. Breed, size, and weight restrictions do not apply to emotional support animals under the Fair Housing Act.
Do I have to tell my landlord my diagnosis to get ESA housing accommodations?
No. You are not required to share your specific diagnosis or private medical details with your landlord. A valid ESA letter from a licensed health professional is typically what's needed to request a reasonable housing accommodation.
Are cats protected as emotional support animals under the Fair Housing Act?
Yes. Both cats and dogs may qualify as emotional support animals under the Fair Housing Act. Housing providers generally cannot deny a reasonable accommodation request based on the species, breed, or size of your animal. State laws may vary.
What documentation do I need for an emotional support animal in housing?
A valid ESA letter from a licensed health professional is the standard documentation used when requesting housing accommodations under the Fair Housing Act. Requirements may vary by state.
