To Whom It May Concern:
I am a licensed therapist currently providing behavioral health services to Jordan Bennett, born 18 March 1994. I have evaluated Jordan and determined that they have a mental health condition that substantially limits one or more major life activities within the meaning of applicable fair housing guidance.
Based on my clinical evaluation and ongoing therapeutic relationship, I have determined that Jordan benefits from the presence of an Emotional Support Animal named Luna, a domestic short-hair cat. The animal provides emotional stabilization, reduces symptoms associated with the condition, and supports daily functioning in the home environment.
In my professional opinion, the Emotional Support Animal is a necessary part of Jordan's treatment plan and helps alleviate disability-related symptoms. Because of that therapeutic benefit, reasonable accommodation for the animal in housing is clinically appropriate under the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3604) and HUD FHEO Notice 2020-01.
This letter is provided for accommodation purposes. To protect client confidentiality, detailed diagnostic information is not included here. Verification of my professional credentials may be provided as permitted by law.

A professional, landlord-ready ESA letter
Most ESA letters get questioned. Ours get verified. Every SignMyESA letter carries the details landlords and property managers actually check, plus a verification ID they can confirm themselves in under a minute.
They enter the verification ID from your letter. No health information is ever shown. See how verification works →
“My landlord says he does not accept ESA letters.”
Under the Fair Housing Act a housing provider must consider a reasonable accommodation request, including in a building that otherwise allows no animals. A blanket refusal to consider the request is not something the law permits.
“How would they know it is real?”
Two independent checks. Your landlord can look up the provider's licence number on your state board's public register, and they can confirm the verification ID with us. Both are free and take minutes.
“Is the provider actually licensed?”
Yes, and you do not have to take our word for it. The licence type, number and issuing state are printed on your letter so anyone can verify them on the state board's own website.
“Will my diagnosis be on the letter?”
No. Your letter confirms that a disability exists and that the animal provides disability-related support. A landlord has no legal right to your diagnosis, so we deliberately leave it out.
“What if my landlord wants their own form filled in?”
Send it to us. Colleges and property management companies often have their own paperwork, and your provider completes it alongside the letter at no extra charge.
“How quickly does it arrive?”
Usually within 24 hours of your evaluation, as a signed PDF you can forward straight to your landlord. California is the exception, where state law requires a 30-day provider relationship first.
$99 one-time. Free to check if you qualify, and refunded in full if your provider does not approve you.
