How Florida treats ESA letters
In Florida, your right to keep an Emotional Support Animal in rental housing is protected under the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) and HUD guidelines.
Landlords cannot charge pet rent, pet deposits, or apply breed/size restrictions to approved assistance animals, provided you supply a valid letter from a licensed provider detailing your need.
Florida SB 1084 (ESA Misrepresentation)
Citation: Fla. Stat. § 760.27Prohibits landlords from charging pet fees for ESAs, but makes knowingly falsifying documentation or misrepresenting a disability-related need for an ESA a second-degree misdemeanor.

Local Renter ContextFlorida ESA FAQ
Is an online ESA letter valid in Florida?
Yes. Under the Fair Housing Act, landlords in Florida must accept letters signed by a licensed mental health professional who has clinically evaluated you. Telehealth evaluations are fully recognized as long as the provider holds an active license in Florida.
Does my landlord in Florida have to accept my ESA?
Yes, under federal law. Landlords must provide a reasonable accommodation, which includes waiving pet fees, pet deposits, and weight or breed restrictions. A landlord can only deny an ESA if the animal poses a documented threat to safety or causes substantial property damage.
Can a landlord in Florida charge pet rent or deposits for an ESA?
No. Approved Emotional Support Animals are legally classified as assistance animals, not pets. Landlords are prohibited from charging pet rent, pet security deposits, or registration fees for them.
