Under the Fair Housing Act, housing providers must allow tenants to have an ESA or PSD as a reasonable accommodation for their disability. This means landlords cannot charge pet fees or deny the animals due to pet policies. For PSDs specifically, the Americans with Disabilities Act grants public access rights to PSDs to accompany their handlers in businesses, restaurants, etc. Air travel with a PSD is regulated under the Air Carrier Access Act (see below).

Under the Air Carrier Access Act, airlines must permit individuals with disabilities to travel with their PSD in the cabin with no extra fees. However, airlines can require PSD owners to submit a certification form prior to the flight proving the dog is a legitimate service animal, trained to mitigate their disability, and will behave appropriately during the flight. The certification form allows airlines to verify the PSD meets the requirements for air travel. It’s recommended to check the specific airline’s requirements for service animals before booking, as policies can vary between carriers.

No, housing providers must make reasonable accommodations for emotional support and service animals under the Fair Housing Act. They cannot charge extra fees for the assistive animals and can only deny requests if the animal is a direct threat or would cause undue financial burden.
