If you have an emotional or mental disability, you may be wondering if a landlord is allowed to request a copy of a treating medical practitioner’s note prescribing the Emotional Support Animal.

The answer is yes, your landlord can request a copy of a medical practitioner’s note. (Landlords and property managers should allow service animals and emotional support animals in any residential housing). With that, they have the right to request reasonable evidence of your need for an emotional support animal.
