I used to think an HOA’s pet restrictions automatically applied to emotional support animals too. After looking into it, I learned that ESA requests can involve reasonable accommodation rules, so the situation isn’t always the same as having a regular pet.
I also went through an ESA evaluation with My ESA Therapist and learned that the letter should be based on an evaluation by a licensed mental health professional, rather than simply getting an online certificate.
If you’re dealing with an HOA, it’s worth checking the applicable housing rules, understanding the accommodation process, and providing the appropriate documentation instead of assuming the HOA’s standard pet policy settles the issue.
