According to Fair Housing laws, ESAs are treated as medical devices, not typical everyday pets, at least if you reside in Texas and are an unexempt very small landlord.The documentation you have for this ESA is key: Always make sure that you are obtaining valid verification per Michele's form, or a similar method.Review the ESA letter closely; you must only accept letters that are from their active health care provider (either therapist or physician), and not generic online certificates that are not specific to their needs.Do not assess fees for having an ESA.
