We’re not clear on why your second ESA was rejected, but under HUD guidelines you are allowed to have more than one ESA with proper documentation. You might find this article helpful: https://esadoctors.com/more-than-one-emotional-support-animal/

So I have a number of mental health conditions. My therapist recognizes my 2 cats as my emotional support animals and has written a letter to identify them as a part of my mental health care treatment. My landlord sent this letter to a lawyer and now they are stating that the lawyer has only approved me for one support animal and I need to pay them for the other. Under what criteria would a lawyer be permitted to dictate my mental health requirement for only 1 ESA vs 2???

There is no specific form, your physician would need to sign a letter that follows HUD’s guidelines which you can find here: https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/PA/documents/HUDAsstAnimalNC1-28-2020.pdf

My physician agrees that an ESA would be a good fit for me. She asked that I bring the form she needs to fill out to complete the process. Is there a specific form that a physician needs to complete for an ESA or a specific letter that she must sign? I have looked but it doesn’t seem like there is anything official.

In reply to Kyle Johnson. Most ESA letters simply state the passenger has a disorder recognized under the DSM, per ACAA rules. Passengers do have a right to privacy when it comes to their specific diagnosis.

This article states: “ Your LMHP should then fill out an ESA letter stating your need for an emotional support animal. The letter should include; 1-Your need is listed specifically by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.”
This seems to insinuate that your ESA letter must state your mental health diagnosis in the letter itself. This cannot be true as this kind of personal information violates HIPA laws. If the letter stated that the “patient or client of the mental health professional is, in fact, a patient and that they do have a qualifying condition that allows for an ESA” would be sufficient information. Even that is borderline “too much” information, if you ask me. None of the general public nor airline workers, etc., need to be privy to exactly what one’s condition is.
