ESA Laws in New Hampshire

New Hampshire law does not have specific state regulations for emotional support animals, so ESA rights are primarily governed by federal law.

Emotional support animals in New Hampshire are protected by two key federal laws: the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)  in terms of housing laws and regulating public accommodations. These laws ensure that individuals with an ESA have rights to housing and travel accommodations.

New Hampshire ESA Law Protections

  • Under the FHA housing laws, landlords cannot deny housing to individuals with an ESA, even in "no-pets" properties. ESA owners cannot be charged extra pet fees.
  • Landlords can request an ESA letter from a licensed healthcare provider to verify the need for the animal.
  • ESAs are allowed to live in your home regardless of the property's pet policy.
  • The ADA only grants public access rights to service animals and ESAs are not allowed in most public places, such as restaurants, stores, and workplaces.

Traveling With Your ESA in New Hampshire

Traveling with an ESA can be a smooth process if you understand the laws and regulations that apply. In New Hampshire, as in the rest of the U.S., federal law protects your right to travel with your ESA: the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA).

  • Airlines are not required to allow ESAs in the cabin or waive pet fees.
  • ESAs are subject to airline pet policies, including size, weight, and carrier requirements.
  • Pets must stay in an airline-approved carrier that fits under the seat.
  • Pet fees and pet deposit requirements vary by airline and destination.
  • Advance notice (usually 48 hours) is required by most airlines.

Before booking your trip, always check your airline’s specific pet policies to ensure a hassle-free travel experience with your ESA.

Under the Fair Housing Act, landlords in New Hampshire cannot deny emotional support animals, even in "no-pets" housing. Exceptions apply if the animal poses a safety threat, has a history of property damage, or if the property is exempt, like owner-occupied buildings with four or fewer units. A valid ESA letter ensures you’re entitled to reasonable accommodations.

No, under the Fair Housing Act (FHA), landlords in New Hampshire cannot deny a tenant’s emotional support animal, even in no-pet housing.

What do I say to my doctor to get an ESA letter?

You can explain your mental or emotional health condition and how an emotional support animal helps alleviate symptoms. Be honest about your needs and ask if they believe an ESA could benefit your well-being. If they agree, they can provide a legally valid ESA letter.

What proof is needed for an emotional support animal?
