* For California residents, effective January 1, 2022, new law AB 468 requires those seeking an ESA letter for dogs to establish a client-provider relationship with the individual for at least 30 days prior to providing documentation, which will result in having two consultations before qualifying.
If you are one of the millions of Americans struggling with their mental health, you might benefit from the companionship of an emotional support animal. In the state of Vermont, you have a protected right to full and equal access to rental housing with your assistance animal.
Thanks to the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA), as long as you possess a legitimate ESA letter, your housing provider must make reasonable accommodations for your emotional support animal to live with you. This even applies to rental properties with “no pets” policies. Landlords are also barred from charging pet fees and requiring deposits for emotional support animals. Likewise, they cannot impose any breed or weight restrictions on your ESA.
Unfortunately, emotional support animals do not have privileges when it comes to access to public places. Unlike service animals, which are legally authorized to accompany their owners nearly everywhere they go, emotional support animals are only admitted on a case-by-case basis, at the discretion of the venue owner or manager.
Establishments such as stores, restaurants, theaters, museums, and gyms must give unrestricted access to service animals, but they are under no obligation to permit ESAs. If you would like your emotional support animal to accompany you to an establishment, your best option is to explain your situation to the person in charge and offer to show them your ESA letter. The same rules apply to workplaces and commercial aircraft (under the Air Carrier Access Act). For air travel, be prepared for the airline to require your ESA to fly as an ordinary pet, and for you to have to pay the relevant charges.
Get Your ESA LetterA mental health professional licensed in your state must assess your symptoms in order to determine whether you have an emotional or mental disability and a disability-related need for an emotional support animal. If you qualify, your LMHP can make an emotional support animal an official part of your mental health treatment plan by writing you an ESA letter.
