How to Get an ESA Letter in Puerto Rico Online

Getting an ESA letter while in Puerto Rico is simple when you work with Pettable. Simply answer a few short questions so that we can determine your needs and we will connect you with a licensed mental health practitioner on the Island. 

ESA letters legitimize claims for ESAs and can support access to fair housing rights. They’re also useful if you want to advocate bringing your ESA to your place of work or study. While this will be at the discretion of the establishment, a legitimate letter can certainly help to advocate for your cause.

‍Emotional Support Animals In Puerto Rico

Emotional support animals are fully recognized in Puerto Rico and are offered legal protections for housing under the federal Fair Housing Act. If you benefit mentally or emotionally from the presence of a pet or animal in your life, you may qualify for an ESA letter. The only way to get one in Puerto Rico is to have a consultation with a licensed mental health professional in PR and explain your situation.

ESA Laws In Puerto Rico

While no specific ESA laws exist, ESAs are protected in terms of housing in Puerto Rico. Until 2021, ESAs were also protected under the Department of Transportation’s Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA). However, these rights have since been removed as of 2021 and ESA travel on airlines is at the discretion of the airline. Oftentimes those traveling with ESAs will have to pay special pet travel fees.

Puerto Rico ESA Housing Laws

The Federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) safeguards the rights of those with ESAs by protecting the right to fair housing access. Under this law, housing providers cannot discriminate against tenants with ESAs, even if the housing complex or apartment does not allow pet animals. While there are certain instances where housing providers can deny ESAs - for example if the animal is aggressive or too big for the establishment - they must make reasonable accommodations for them.

‍How Do You Qualify For An ESA In Puerto Rico?

To qualify for an ESA, you must have a qualifying emotional or mental health disability. For example, depression, social anxiety, chronic stress, panic disorder, OCD, bipolar, or PTSD. You must then meet with a licensed mental health practitioner who is licensed in Puerto Rico. They will assess your ESA needs and once confirmed, write a letter in support of your ESA.

Benefits of Emotional Support Animals for Puerto Rico Residents

ESAs have so many therapeutic benefits and that’s why they’ve grown in popularity over the years. More and more people are recognizing how they can meaningfully assist those living with mental and emotional health disabilities. Let’s explore some of how they add value and benefit to people’s lives. 

Provide Mental and Emotional Stability

Animals provide stability and massive comfort to their humans. Many studies highlight how animals can significantly reduce stress hormones and boost happy ones. ESAs provide companionship and physical comfort and in doing so reduce the symptoms of many mental health disabilities. 

Save on Expensive Pet Housing Fees

Emotional support animals (ESAs) are recognized for their benefit to individuals with mental or emotional disabilities, allowing their owners to qualify for exemptions from pet housing fees under laws that protect individuals with disabilities. By having an ESA, individuals can save money on pet deposits and monthly pet rent that landlords or housing complexes typically charge.

Provide Social Support

ESAs provide incredible social support and companionship. This can ward off feelings of loneliness and isolation and make people feel connected.

What our pet parents are saying

Verified customers. Real reviews.
An image of Maddee W and her dog
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!"
