Why an ESA or service animal letter matters
A letter from a licensed healthcare provider documents your need for your animal, so you can ask for the accommodations you need with confidence.
What a letter can do for you
Support housing requests
ESA letters are commonly used to request a reasonable accommodation from a landlord or housing provider, including in buildings with no-pet rules.
Clear documentation
Your letter is written by a licensed healthcare provider in plain, professional language that’s easy for others to understand.
Peace of mind
Instead of worrying about being separated from your animal, you have documentation ready when you need it.
