2026 UPDATE
Federal ESA guidance changed in May. Florida’s ESA law didn’t.
HUD withdrew its federal emotional support animal guidance on May 22, 2026. Florida Statute 760.27 still protects ESA owners in housing — and it sets stricter rules for out-of-state providers. That’s why a letter from a Florida-licensed therapist matters more than ever.

MEET YOUR PROVIDER
Hi, I’m Jay.
I live and practice in St. Petersburg, and I’ve been a licensed mental health counselor in Florida since 2018. I’m a dog lover, too — I know how much calmer life feels with your companion by your side. Every letter I write starts with a real conversation, and I’m here afterward if your landlord has questions.

What a Florida ESA letter can do for you
Straight answers, so there are no surprises with your landlord.
It helps you
- Request a reasonable accommodation for your ESA in Florida rental housing, condos and HOAs
- Live with your ESA in buildings that otherwise don’t allow pets
- Ask your landlord to waive pet fees and breed or weight limits
- Show documentation that meets Florida Statute 760.27
It’s not
- A “registration” or “certification” — no official ESA registry exists
- A pass to bring your pet on flights — airlines no longer accept ESAs
- Public access to stores or restaurants — that’s for trained service dogs
- Instant — any site promising a letter in minutes isn’t doing a real evaluation
