What Is an ESA Letter?

An ESA letter is an official document from a New York-licensed mental health professional confirming your need for an Emotional Support Animal. It provides housing protections under the Fair Housing Act, giving you the legal right to keep your ESA in NYC apartments, even with strict no-pet clauses or co-op board rules.

What Is an Emotional Support Animal (ESA)?

An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is a companion animal that supports individuals with emotional or psychological conditions. In New York City, where housing is competitive and leases often prohibit pets, a valid ESA letter is your key to living with your animal legally.

Do I Need an ESA Registration or Certification?

New York has no official ESA registry. A valid letter from a NY-licensed mental health professional is all you need — no vest, no certification, no registration required.

Who Qualifies for an Emotional Support Animal?

New Yorkers experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress disorders, or other emotional health conditions common in fast-paced city life may qualify following a licensed evaluation.

Customer review

My NYC lease had a strict no-pets clause. My ESA letter overrode it immediately. Zero pushback from my landlord.

Alicia J., Manhattan NY

Customer review

Brooklyn co-ops can be brutal about pets. This process was seamless and my letter was accepted.

Marcus D., Brooklyn NY

Customer review

Fast, legitimate, and my therapist was genuinely understanding. Best $128 I've spent in New York.

Priya S., Queens NY

Customer review

I was skeptical but this is 100% above board. My property manager in the Bronx accepted it right away.
