TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN / HOUSING MANAGEMENT:
This letter confirms that Jane Doe is under my professional clinical care. In accordance with the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3604), I have determined that she has an emotional/psychological disability and the presence of her emotional support animal (Bella / Dog) is necessary to mitigate her symptoms.
Please grant reasonable housing accommodation without imposing pet fees, deposits, or breed restrictions.
