ESA owners are always responsible for any damage that their animal might cause to the property.

Can a town make you move or get rid of your ESA if there is a city ordinance against that animal? It’s so difficult to sell a home and move within 30 days!

It’s always a good idea to be open and honest about your mental health needs. Your doctor will make their own assessment and determine whether an ESA recommendation is right for you.

To clarify, an ESA recommendation is not a “prescription”, and therapists are usually the ones that issue them, not physicians. You shouldn’t be afraid to have an open and honest conversation about your mental health needs with a licensed professional. Many ESA owners have a fear that people will think they are just faking their need for an ESA to avoid fees or rules. That is an unfortunate result of the stigma surrounding ESAs and mental health issues. If you are looking for a licensed professional that is familiar with ESAs and understanding about mental health issues, we can help you get started here: https://esadoctors.com/esa-questionnaire/

I believe I have anxiety. I have one small dog I am already paying for at my apartment but she only comforts me when I feel alone and sad. My other dog is bigger and she makes me feel safe at night. I’m very parinoid at night alone and I need her but she is too big for the regular apartment.

Yes, you are allowed to have more than 1 ESA as long as each ESA is covered by a recommendation from a licensed professional. Most colleges have policies regarding assistance animals, it’s best to check to see what your school’s specific policy is. Generally though, ESAs are not allowed on campus without restriction. They are often however allowed in campus housing.
