What are Pet Housing Restrictions/Fees?

When you’re an animal lover, a pet can complete your home, but with many rental housing situations, pets are often subject to restrictions and additional charges. These can include:

Pet fees
Pet rent
Breed and size restrictions
Pet type/species

These conditions may vary by state or locality, and some regions may have specific laws that include additional restrictions or requirements. However, the Fair Housing Act (FHA) exempts service animals and emotional support animals (ESAs) from all these conditions.

What's the Difference Between Pet Fees, Deposits, and Pet Rent?

Pet fees, deposits, and pet rents are all common additional charges that housing providers may include in your lease agreement, potentially adding hundreds of dollars to your monthly rent.

Pet fees are non-refundable charges tacked onto your security deposit; some states limit the amount a housing provider may charge.
Pet rent is a fee added to your monthly rent, typically anywhere between $25-$60.
Pet deposits are added to your initial security deposit and are usually refundable at the end of your lease, and they are intended to offset any potential property damage.

While these are all common housing charges, with an ESA or service animal, renters are exempt from any pet-related extra expenses.

An ESA letter can save you up to $3,000 a year in pet rent.

How Can I Find Pet-Friendly Housing?

When you’re on the search for pet-friendly rental housing, your choices are usually limited to apartments, townhouses, condominiums, or single-family homes. Apartment complexes and communities typically have the most restrictions and financial conditions for pets, while independent landlords may have more flexibility. However, it can be difficult to find a housing situation that perfectly suits you and your pet.

An ESA Letter from Pettable eliminates the hassle of searching for pet-friendly accommodation.

What are My Housing Rights with an ESA Letter?

If you’re dealing with mental health challenges, having an emotional support animal (ESA) can make a big difference, and the good news is you’re protected by law. The Fair Housing Act (FHA) ensures landlords can’t discriminate against you or your ESA, so no extra fees, no-pet policies, or breed restrictions apply. Whether it’s a dog, cat, or even a hamster, your ESA is covered. You can even have more than one ESA, as long as you have a letter for each. If your ESA is well-behaved and doesn’t cause any damage, you can’t be denied housing or kicked out.

How Can I Get an ESA Letter for Housing?

If you want to add an ESA to your mental health treatment plan, it’s an easy process that has nothing but upside. You’ll need a diagnosis from a licensed mental health professional (LMHP) in your state, who can write your ESA letter. Instead of navigating this alone, Pettable simplifies the process. Start with an online assessment to check your eligibility. Then, we’ll connect you with a state-licensed LMHP for a virtual consultation. After evaluating your mental health, they’ll provide the official ESA letter you need to secure your housing rights.
