This comment is NOT to encourage bending the rules about service animals or emotional support animals, because I hate to see this designation abused. However, if you suffer from a mental disorder or other qualifying condition, your dog may be eligible to be an emotional support animal. Renters can’t turn you away or charge pet fees if that’s the case. But I urge anyone reading this to please not abuse this system. My pup was the only thing getting me out of bed and giving me purpose during a post-divorce depression during Covid and she qualifies as an ESA.
