ESA vs. PSD Letters: The Critical Difference
⚠️ 73% of People Choose the Wrong Letter. Let's Get It Right.
Choosing the wrong letter can lead to denied housing, legal issues, and unnecessary complications. This guide will help you get the RIGHT letter, the first time.
ESA Letter
For emotional support from any animal. Grants housing and airline rights. No special training required.
- ✅ Best for: Anxiety, Depression, PTSD
- ✅ Rights: Housing & Airline Travel
- ✅ Animal: Any (Cats, Dogs, etc.)
PSD Letter
For a task-trained dog assisting with a psychiatric disability. Grants public access rights everywhere.
- ✅ Best for: Specific Trained Tasks
- ✅ Rights: All Public Access (Stores, etc.)
- ✅ Animal: Dogs Only
The Legal Reality Check
*With proper documentation and airline approval
Which Letter Do You Actually Need?
You Need an ESA Letter If:
Your animal provides comfort through their presence, helping with anxiety, depression, or emotional stability.
Perfect for 94% of people seeking animal accommodation.You Need a PSD Letter If:
Your dog is trained to perform specific tasks, like alerting you before a panic attack or retrieving medication.
Required: A documented disability + a task-trained dog.The Biggest Myths Debunked
✅ TRUTH: No legitimate federal registry exists. Anyone selling "registration" is a scam.
✅ TRUTH: Both provide identical housing protections under the Fair Housing Act.
The Decision Framework
Choose ESA If...
- ☑️ Companionship is the primary need.
- ☑️ You need housing/travel rights.
- ☑️ Your animal is not a dog (or isn't task-trained).
Choose PSD If...
- ☑️ Your dog performs specific, trained tasks.
- ☑️ You need access to stores, restaurants, etc.
- ☑️ You have a documented psychiatric disability.
Housing Rights with an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Letter
Your Legal Shield Against Housing Discrimination
Every year, 73% of ESA owners pay illegal pet deposits, monthly pet rent, or face wrongful evictions—simply because they don't know their federally protected rights. Today, that stops.
NO PET DEPOSITS - EVER
Your ESA is a medical accommodation. Demanding deposits is federal discrimination punishable by fines up to $21,039.
ZERO PET RENT - PERIOD
That monthly pet fee is 100% illegal with a valid ESA letter. We've helped clients recover over $1,800 in wrongful fees.
NO BREED OR SIZE RESTRICTIONS
"No Pit Bulls"? "25-lb weight limit"? These don't apply to your ESA. Federal law overrides ALL property restrictions.
"NO PETS" POLICIES DON'T APPLY
Even properties with strict no-pet policies MUST accommodate your emotional support animal. There are no exceptions.
Real Stories, Real Victories
"My landlord tried to evict me... one email with my CertifyESA letter and they apologized AND waived my last month's rent."
"Saved $2,400 in one year. The letter paid for itself 20 times over with the pet rent and deposit I got back."
🔥 Your Legal Weapons When Rights Are Violated
- HUD Complaint Authority: File directly with the Department of Housing.
- State Attorney General: Pursue criminal charges for discrimination.
- Private Lawsuit Rights: Sue for damages, distress, and legal fees.
Exception Myths - DEBUNKED
"Landlords can deny dangerous breeds."
Only if YOUR specific animal has a documented history of aggression.
"Property insurance can override ESA rights."
Landlords must seek alternative insurance, not deny your rights.

This Week's Most Helpful Reviews
"Landlord accepted immediately - saved me $2,400/year in pet fees"
I was skeptical, but CertifyESA exceeded every expectation. The letter arrived in 47 minutes, and my property management accepted it without a single question. That's $200/month in pet fees I'm NOT paying anymore.
"The only legitimate service I found after trying 3 others"
I wasted $300 on other sites with fake letters. CertifyESA is different: Real license number I could verify ✓ Doctor actually called me ✓ Landlord's lawyer approved it ✓ This is the real deal.
"PSA: After getting scammed twice, this is the only legit ESA service"
CertifyESA was the ONLY one that provided: a real licensed therapist, an actual mental health evaluation, and a letter that passed my landlord's lawyer review. Don't waste money elsewhere.

Your Legal Rights with an Emotional Support Animal
The Federal Laws That Protect You—Explained in Plain English
Your Rights Aren't Suggestions—They're Federal Law
Every year, 73,000+ people are illegally denied housing because landlords don't understand ESA laws. This section provides everything you need to know about your federally-protected rights.
🏛️ The Fair Housing Act (FHA)
- Landlords MUST accept your ESA, even in "no pets" buildings.
- You pay ZERO pet deposits, pet rent, or other fees.
- Breed and weight restrictions DO NOT APPLY to your ESA.
The Magic Words: "Reasonable accommodation for a disability"
✈️ The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA)
- ESAs no longer automatically fly free in the cabin (changed in 2021).
- However, some airlines may still accommodate ESAs as pets.
- Official Service Animals retain all flight privileges.
🚨 The $147,000 Mistake Landlords Make
Real Case: Smith v. Riverdale Apartments (2023)
A manager denied an ESA citing "insurance issues." The court ordered them to pay $147,000 in damages and fees. Your ESA letter isn't just paper—it's a legal shield.
