Thanks for sharing this, Nathan. ESA letters are so often misunderstood, especially when it comes to legal protections under the Fair Housing Act. I’ve seen a lot of confusion around what qualifies as a valid letter versus a generic template from an online site.
For anyone looking into this seriously, the key is working with a licensed mental health professional who has an actual therapeutic relationship with the person. I've seen HelpfulPets.com used in some housing contexts because they connect users with real licensed providers rather than just issuing quick paperwork. Definitely a more responsible route for those who truly need support.
Would love to see more resources added here around how landlords verify ESA letters appropriately too — it’s a topic that deserves more clarity.
