Hi Megan, Sorry to hear that you're having issues with your apartment. According to the Fair Housing Act, valid emotional support animals are not considered pets and thus are exempt from standard pet policies like extra pet fees or weight and size restrictions, or a no pets policy. You may only need a letter from a therapist to show your landlord in addition to the registration papers. If your landlord insist, you may contact and file a grievance with the Housing Authority (HUD) through the number found on the back of the card (800-225-5342). Thank you.
