If you struggle with an emotional or mental health condition, you may be eligible for an emotional support animal in Wisconsin.
The state is aware of the daily challenges presented to those with mental illness and enforces laws and policies that are considerate of people in this position. This includes striving to protect emotional support animals and their owners.
Many laws regarding emotional support animals are set at the federal level, and Wisconsin follows federal law. In addition, Wisconsin law states that if you misrepresent an ESA status, you will be fined.
Here we'll explore all the specific laws in Wisconsin regarding ESAs in various settings, such as housing, workplace, travel, or other public spaces. These details can help inform you as to your rights and protections as the owner of an emotional support animal in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin follows the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA), which states that landlords cannot deny a potential tenant simply because they have an emotional support animal. The landlord must make reasonable accommodations to allow the ESA to live with their owner, and cannot charge any extra fees for the animal.
This remains the case even for housing providers who otherwise enforce a "no pets" policy. They also cannot place any breed or weight restrictions on your animal. The only way that a landlord is allowed to refuse an ESA is if the animal poses a direct threat to the safety of others or causes extensive damage to the property or housing unit.
There is no law in place at this time that requires employers to accept emotional support animals in the workplace.
However, as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prevents employers from discriminating against employees with disabilities, some do choose to be flexible. It never hurts to ask!
If you think you'd feel better bringing your support animal to work, show your ESA letter to your employer or HR team and see if they might be willing to make accommodations for you.
If you're interested in finding out if you qualify for an emotional support animal, your next step is to meet with an LMHP in your state who can evaluate your mental health condition and determine your eligibility. Assuming they find you qualify, they'll write you an ESA letter to legitimize your emotional support animal.
Pettable's telehealth marketplace makes it convenient for you to connect with an experienced, vetted LMHP without the hassle. All of our clinicians have plenty of knowledge about ESA laws in the state they practice and are familiar with the process of working with clients who own assistance animals.
