Under the Maine Human Rights Act, landlords must allow ESAs in housing, even with no-pet policies. They cannot charge pet fees, but can hold tenants responsible for damages.
ESAs are not considered service animals, meaning they do not have automatic access to public places like restaurants or stores. Businesses may deny entry or charge pet fees. Misrepresenting an ESA as a service animal is illegal.
Employers are not required to accommodate ESAs in the workplace. However, some may allow them, so it’s best to check with the employer directly.
In Maine, public access is limited for ESAs, unlike the service animals. The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) ensures that individuals with disabilities, including those with emotional support animals, have the right to fly with their ESA in the cabin. However, certain restrictions and guidelines apply to ensure both passengers and airlines are protected.
