What Housing Providers Should Know
Tenant Privacy Rights
Under the Fair Housing Act's reasonable-accommodation principles (42 U.S.C. § 3604), you may not demand a tenant's diagnosis or medical records. A valid ESA letter from a licensed clinician is sufficient documentation. Demanding more is a potential Fair Housing Act violation. The Supportive Pet also does not share any protected health data through its verification portal, consistent with its own privacy obligations.
Fair Housing Act
Under the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3604), housing providers must consider reasonable accommodation requests from tenants with disabilities. ESA accommodation requests must be evaluated in good faith.
Licensed Clinicians
All letters issued through The Supportive Pet are signed by licensed clinicians who make independent clinical determinations. Verification confirms the letter came from a real licensed professional on our platform.
