A pet fee is a one-time non-refundable charge for having a pet in your apartment. A pet deposit is a refundable amount paid to cover any potential damage caused by the pet. Pet rent is a monthly fee added to your regular rent. For example, in cities like New York or Los Angeles, pet rent might be anywhere between $25-$100 per month per pet. Pettable can help qualified people get an ESA letter, which can be submitted in order to waive those fees.
Pet rent is a monthly charge added to your regular rent for keeping a pet in your apartment. This fee helps cover potential wear and tear caused by pets. Pet rent, depending on state, can range from $25 to $100 per month. It’s a common practice in many U.S. cities to ensure the property remains in good condition. This cost can add up over time and become a stressor for many people who require a pet for emotional and mental support.
To avoid paying pet rent, you can try negotiating with your landlord. Offer to sign a longer lease or provide references from previous landlords to demonstrate your pet’s good behavior. In some cases, landlords may be flexible if they see you as a responsible tenant. The best option, as long as you qualify, is to apply for a legitimate ESA letter from Pettable, and share the letter with your landlord.
Breed restrictions set by a landlord or management company can be frustrating for pet owners who know their dogs are well-behaved. If you’re facing breed restrictions, consider discussing your dog’s behavior and training with your landlord. You can also provide references from previous landlords or trainers to help ease their concerns. However, emotional support animals and service animals are exempt from breed restrictions. If you are eligible, an ESA letter from Pettable can be a perfect solution to unfair breed restrictions.
An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letter from a licensed mental health professional can exempt you from pet rent and fees under the Fair Housing Act. Pettable is a legitimate service connecting qualified individuals to licensed clinicians. Presenting an ESA letter can save you from paying additional pet costs. Ensure your ESA letter is legitimate and meets all legal requirements. Pettable makes it simple to get started can can provide your legitimate letter within as little as 24 hours if needed.
For an ESA letter to be legitimate, it must meet a few criteria. It has to be on official letterhead from the practice of the mental health care provider writing the letter, contact information, and the provider’s license number. The Fair Housing Act explicitly states that housing providers are not entitled to know a person’s diagnosis or severity thereof.
Both provide relief for mental or emotional disabilities, but only Psychiatric Service Dogs (PSDs) require specific training to perform tasks that alleviate symptoms. ESA letters do not necessitate training standards.

An emotional support animal provides comfort to help relieve a symptom or effect related to a person's disability. Also, there is no animal or breed restrictions for ESA's as long as it is reasonable and justified.
Note that being an emotional support animal is not the same as being a service animal (like seeing-eye dogs). These types of animals have stricter criteria that must be met, including different forms of training such as obedience, public access and disability training. These additional trainings are necessary since service dogs have public access and travel rights, unlike emotional support animals who are only protected under housing rights.
ESA's do not have public access or travel rights, so it's best to check with individual business guidelines to see if they allow ESA's. Additionally, you can train your dog to become a PSD (psychiatric service dog) in order to have public access and travel rights.
The general criteria is to have some emotional or psychological condition that is improved by having an animal that provides support. Conditions may include depression, generalized anxiety, paranoia, insomnia, and others. And remember, Emotional Support Animals do not require special training!
