If you're considering an Emotional Support Animal letter, you need
to understand what a REAL evaluation looks like.
We just posted a quick breakdown of exactly what licensed mental
health providers check for during an ESA evaluation. Here's what
you'll learn:
📋 The 3-Part Evaluation Process:
- Does the patient have a diagnosed mental health disability?
- How does this disability limit their daily functioning?
- Would an ESA specifically help alleviate their symptoms?
🩺 What Conditions Qualify?
Common qualifying conditions include anxiety disorders, depression,
PTSD, autism, and bipolar disorder—but the key is proving the
functional limitation.
✍️ How Is the Letter Issued?
A licensed provider issues a letter on official letterhead with
their signature and license information. This letter is then
FEDERALLY PROTECTED under the Fair Housing Act.
⚠️ Why This Matters:
Not all ESA letters are created equal. Landlords can reject letters
that don't meet legal standards. That's why working with a REAL
licensed mental health provider—not a $49 template—is critical.

evaluation process and protect your housing rights.
