The presence of an emotional support animal in your life can mean the difference between having a good day and a bad one, living with them! If you are suffering from anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other emotionally related conditions, a housing ESA letter provides you with the comfort and support that you deserve. When you have an Emotional Support Animal Letter, you can be with your friend anywhere and not fear housing situations or surprise pet levies.
What Is an ESA Letter?
An emotional support animal letter is a document that’s written on the official, professional letterhead of a licensed mental health specialist confirming that you are a patient of theirs and meet any qualifications or standards set by the U.S. Health and Human Services for housing accommodations due to medical necessity.
The ESA letter acts as evidence that the client has qualifying mental or emotional disabilities under the FHA. Under the FHA, individuals with emotional support animals are entitled to live with their ESAs even in homes where there is a strict no pet policy added to certain buildings and are not required to pay, and cannot be penalized under breed-specific legislation.

ESA Letters vs. PSD Letters
It’s crucial to understand the distinction between an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) and a Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD). So, while ESAs offer comfort and emotional support, PSD letters are something else; they are there for dogs that have been trained to do tasks to assist someone in relation to their mental health. While ESA letters protect housing rights, PSD letters also protect air travel rights under the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA).
If you require your pet to travel with you on flights, you might want to consider requesting a PSD letter.
