🏡 ESA Housing Rights in North Carolina
Under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and North Carolina housing laws, landlords must accommodate tenants with valid ESA letters. With a letter from a licensed provider, you can:
🏠 Live with your ESA in housing that typically bans pets
💸 Skip pet deposits, pet rent, or pet-related fees
🐕 Bypass breed, weight, or size restrictions
🔐 Keep your health information private — no need to share your diagnosis
Note: Your ESA must be well-behaved and not pose a health or safety risk to others. Landlords cannot legally deny you housing because of your ESA.
