ESA Letters by State

Emotional support animal protections are federal, but your letter must come from a mental health professional licensed where you live. Choose your state for local requirements, pricing, and answers.

Why State Matters for Your ESA Letter

A landlord reviewing an emotional support animal letter checks that it comes from a licensed mental health professional — and in practice, a mental health professional licensed in your state carries the most weight. A few states also add specific rules, such as requiring an established clinical relationship before a letter can be issued. Selecting your state takes you to a page built around those local details, with pricing and a state-specific FAQ.

State Coverage FAQs

Do I need a mental health professional licensed in my own state?

+
Yes. For your ESA letter to hold up, it must be written by a mental health professional licensed in the state where you live. That is why we run a dedicated page and licensed mental health professional network for each state.

Is the Fair Housing Act the same in every state?

+
The Fair Housing Act is federal, so the core housing protections apply nationwide. Some states add their own documentation or anti-fraud rules, which your state-licensed mental health professional follows.

Which states do you cover?

+
All 50. Choose your state to see local requirements, pricing, and frequently asked questions.
