Emotional support animals (ESAs) provide comfort and support for individuals dealing with mental or emotional health challenges. In Minnesota, you can request an ESA letter from a licensed therapist, granting you housing rights to live with your animal, even in no-pet housing, under the Fair Housing Act. In addition to housing protections, an ESA letter can also assist with travel, as many airlines allow ESAs to fly with you in the cabin. More importantly, having an ESA can improve your emotional well-being by reducing anxiety, stress, and depression, offering companionship and comfort.

Yes, landlords can verify an ESA letter by confirming it meets the legal requirements. They may check if a licensed mental health professional (LMHP) issued it and ensure it includes details like the provider’s license number and signature. However, they cannot ask for medical records or additional proof of disability.
A valid ESA letter must be written by a licensed mental health professional (LMHP), such as a therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist. It should be on official letterhead, include the LMHP’s license number, state that the individual has a qualifying mental or emotional condition, and confirm the need for an emotional support animal.
If your landlord wrongfully denies your ESA, you can provide them with information about the Fair Housing Act, which protects ESA owners. If they still refuse, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or seek legal assistance.
No, you cannot write your own ESA letter. It must be issued by a licensed mental health professional (LMHP) who has assessed your condition and determined that an ESA is necessary for your well-being.
