HOUSING FOR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS

Numerous universities and councils trust ESAUK to facilitate the registration of Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) for tenants' accommodation needs. This registration enables tenants to live with their ESAs, fostering a supportive environment. It's important to note that current laws prohibit discrimination against individuals with mental health diagnoses in terms of their accommodation. Before proceeding with registration, we encourage you to have an open discussion with your landlord. Ensuring mutual understanding and compliance enhances the process and promotes a positive living experience for both you and your ESA.
 
We won't deceive you - some landlords do refuse ESAs. Even though you are legally protected due to your hidden disability, and you have the right to keep your ESAs in your accommodation as recommended by your doctor, some landlords might still deny you this right. While you could take legal action against such landlords, experience shows that they might later invent unrelated reasons to evict you.

Our advice:

Communicate with your landlord: Discuss your needs openly.
Present your medical documentation: Show them the letter from your doctor explaining why you need the ESAs for your hidden disability.
Offer solutions: Propose purchasing insurance to cover any potential accidental damage caused by your ESAs.
Reassure them: Explain that your ESAs will be trained to be quiet, not disturb neighbors, and will not cause any mess around the property.

It's in everyone's best interest - yours, your ESAs, and your landlord's - to reach a mutual agreement.
