Landlords can reasonably except to have an ESA letter that is current. Housing providers that require an annual renewal are not common, but it’s also not unheard of. Please see this article for more details: https://esadoctors.com/do-esa-letters-expire-how-to-renew/

ESAs must be accommodated even if the lease or building policy prohibits pets. Your landlord can only deny your ESA due to allergies if they can prove that it would result in a direct threat to their health that can’t be mitigated.

My landlord said I signed a contact that said “no pets” I was prescribed a ESA a almost a month after signing the lease and the landlord said no, then the landlord claims he is allergic and wont accommodate my ESA request. Are my rights still the same?

We’re not sure what form you are referring to, but an ESA letter is the only document you need to qualify a pet as an emotional support animal. The ESA letter then has to be approved by the housing provider.

Landlords can verify an ESA letter but can’t ask any questions that would violate the privacy rights of the tenant.

Mobile home parks are subject to Fair Housing rules as well.

I have a different problem. I want to purchase a mobile home situated in a mobile home park. The rule is no pets. My roommate and I each have an ESA, documented. Question is, can we keep our ESAs even tho rule is no dogs. They would be inside animals.
