Housing Laws
A landlord in California may not evict or charge additional fees against any tenant with a certified Emotional Support Animal, even if they have a policy prohibiting pets, under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act. Landlords have the right to view documentation in the form of an official Emotional Support Animal certification letter as proof of necessity. Pet owners need only one letter per pet, but if you move to another state, you’ll need to check their state laws and provisions for Emotional Support Animals to ensure you comply.
