Why choose an ESA in Montana?

Montana law supports the use of Emotional Support Animals for individuals with mental or emotional disablities. With a valid ESA letter you can.

  • Live in housing with “no pets” policies without additional fees.
  • Have your ESA recognized as part of your mental health treatment.
  • Benefit from protections under the Fair Housing Act.

How to Get an ESA Letter in Montana Online

The process of obtaining an emotional support animal (ESA) letter begins with an appointment with a licensed mental health professional (LMHP), as they have the expertise to assess your symptoms and determine whether you are eligible for an emotional support animal. Thanks to telehealth platforms like Pettable, this consultation can take place online, making the entire ESA approval process much simpler and more convenient. Get started with Pettable today and connect with one of our LMHPs from the comfort of your own home!

ESA Laws in Montana

The federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) secures the rights of emotional support animal owners to equal access to housing. This means that your housing provider must make reasonable accommodations for your emotional support animal to live with you, as long as you have a valid ESA letter. Your ESA letter supersedes the landlord’s usual pet policies and exempts you from any pet deposits or fees, as well as breed and weight restrictions. 

In 2023, Montana passed HB 703, which revised and clarified the state’s own ESA laws as they relate to federal regulations, winding up with some significant changes. The bill allows a landlord to request supporting information about a tenant’s need for a support animal, requiring a licensed mental health professional (LMHP) to identify the emotional need the animal relieves. But to make it official, you must have a professional relationship with the LMHP for at least 30 days before they can issue you an ESA letter.

However, the new law also prohibits landlords from requiring information about the tenant’s diagnosis or the severity of their disorder and further clarifies that a tenant is responsible for any damage to the property or injury to other tenants.

Montana Emotional Support Animal Law HB 703

In 2023 Montana passed a state law (HB 703) on emotional support animals that has multiple implications for acquiring an ESA letter in the state. Most importantly, the law imposed a 30-day client-provider relationship requirement. You must have an existing relationship (minimum of 30 days) before a mental health professional can legally write you an ESA letter. Additionally, the state imposed strict rules on illegitimate ESA certification and registration methods, as well as punishments for healthcare providers who do not follow the new law.

At Pettable we have taken every measure necessary to ensure our process is legally compliant with all new regulations. As a result, if you are a Montana seeking to acquire an ESA letter through Pettable you will not be able to receive your ESA letter until 30 days have passed starting from your initial consultation.

How Do You Qualify for an ESA in Montana?

To qualify for an ESA letter in the state of Montana, an individual must be assessed as needing an emotional support animal by a licensed mental health professional (LMHP). They must also demonstrate that their pet domesticated animal helps relieve symptoms of or support for their disorder.

Due to law HB-703 to qualify for an ESA letter you will need to have at least 2 consultations over 30 days. Once the LMHP makes an official diagnosis, they can schedule a second appointment — a live, virtual evaluation of your relationship with your pet and how it supports your mental or emotional health. Because of HB 703, landlords are allowed to ask for more information about your support animal — an ESA letter solves that problem with ease.

Benefits of Emotional Support Animals for Montana Residents

For animal lovers in Montana, an ESA can help alleviate any of your emotional or mental challenges. Even with everything a pet typically provides, an ESA just elevates the relationship between human and animal further, bound by the need for mutual care. Some of the amazing benefits an ESA can offer include:

Provide Mental and Emotional Stability

Emotional support animals provide comfort and support to individuals with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), borderline personality disorder (BPD), and many other mental health conditions.

Establish a Healthy Routine and Promote Exercise

Having a regular routine and engaging in physical activity are shown to be beneficial for your mental health. Having an ESA present in your life encourages you to live a more active lifestyle, whether it be taking your dog for a walk, or just playing with your ESA. The responsibility of having to care for an animal promotes a healthy routine in your life.

Significant Benefits Under the Fair Housing Act

As emotional support animals are federally protected under the Fair Housing Act, having one provides you with significant legal benefits for housing. If your pet is recognized as an ESA you will be able to live with them in any housing, waiving all "no pet" policies and costly pet fees.
