Emotional Support Animals in New Jersey

Many individuals with mental health conditions or emotional disabilities can derive significant therapeutic benefits from the presence of an emotional support animal. If you are an ESA owner, New Jersey law and federal law are supportive of your right to live anywhere with your emotional support animal. 

ESA Laws in New Jersey

According to the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA), anyone with an emotional support animal and a legitimate ESA letter must be given full and equal access to housing opportunities. As long as you can present a valid ESA letter to your housing provider, they must make reasonable accommodations for your assistance animal to live with you – even in rented apartments with “no pets” policies. They must also waive any pet charges and weight or breed restrictions that they normally impose. 

If you are hoping to bring your emotional support animal to a public place that has not declared itself to be pet-friendly, it’s a good idea to present your ESA letter to the owner or manager. Unlike service animals, emotional support animals have no legal protection when it comes to being admitted to public places. In addition to stores, restaurants, cinemas, libraries, and hotels, this also includes workplaces and commercial aircraft (under the Air Carrier Access Act). For air travel, your emotional support animal will likely have to fly as an ordinary pet, without any special privileges.

However, if you contact the venue manager (or an airline representative, or your boss), explain the situation, and offer to show your ESA letter, you might be pleasantly surprised at their willingness to accommodate you and your emotional support animal. For this reason, having the correct documentation for your ESA, in the form of an official ESA letter, is more important than ever.

How Do You Qualify for an ESA in New Jersey?

To qualify for an emotional support animal in New Jersey, a licensed mental health professional must conduct an assessment of your symptoms and mental health condition to determine whether you have a disability-related need for an ESA. If their professional opinion is that you meet the criteria, they will write you an ESA letter that you can use for housing and other purposes.

What our pet parents are saying

Verified customers. Real reviews.

I had an incredible experience with Pettable. I had just moved and was looking for a new therapist, but knew an ESA would really help me with the transition, so I came to Pettable to get documentation so I didn’t have to wait months to get approval from my landlord to bring a pet home. The process was straightforward, timely, and made me feel so valid in my journey. Now I am raising a puppy and never been happier and healthier! I can’t recommend Pettable enough!

My pup provides relief in stressful situations, particularly when I'm away on necessary travel. Pettable was an amazing resource, connecting me with a therapist who listened to my situation and provided advice above and beyond. I could hear Rhiana's compassion over our call and appreciated her patience. Grateful for this service!"
