What Laws Protect Emotional Support Animals?
Although emotional support animals do not have the same access rights as service dogs under ADA, they are protected under the Fair Housing Act (FHA). If you meet the criteria for ESA qualification under the FHA, you are entitled to live with your emotional support animal free of charge and deposits, even if your building doesn’t allow pets. The FHA also prevents housing providers from imposing breed and weight restrictions on your ESA. Many state laws mostly mirror the FHA, which provides additional protection against discrimination for ESA owners. Housing providers are required to provide reasonable accommodations for ESA owners so they can have equal opportunity to use and enjoy their residence.
How Do I Make My Pet Into a Legitimate Emotional Support Animal?
To qualify for an emotional support animal, you need to obtain an ESA letter from a licensed healthcare professional, such as a therapist. The licensed healthcare professional will assess whether you have a qualifying condition and whether an ESA would help improve symptoms of your condition. Any licensed healthcare professional can issue an ESA letter.

Emotional Support Animal Owners are Protected by Two Federal Laws:
What is the Fair Housing Act (FHA)?
Under the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA), which applies to residents in every state, landlords must reasonably accommodate tenants who own emotional support animals, even if the building has a policy that prohibits pets. The U.S. Department of Housing (HUD) issues guidance on how the provisions of the FHA are implemented and enforces Fair Housing rules.
What about State Laws?
Many states, including California, New York, and Florida have their own set of rules that also protect ESA owners in housing. These rules often closely mirror federal FHA rules and have similar protections and requirements.
What is the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA)?
Before January 11, 2021, airlines were required under the Air Carrier Access Act to let passengers fly with their ESAs in the cabin free of charge. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) issued new rules that allow airlines to no longer recognize emotional support animals on flights. Certain airlines, however, are still accepting emotional support animals on a voluntary basis.
Psychiatric service dogs (PSD) are still protected under the ACAA and all airlines must allow passengers with a PSD to fly in the cabin free of charge.
