Emotional Support Animal in Virginia

In Virginia, emotional support animals may be used by anyone who suffers from a mental or emotional disability. The state is very well aware of the challenges people with mental illnesses face on a daily basis. In order to protect those who use emotional support animals as an important part of their mental health treatment plans, the state works to maintain caring laws and practices.


Virginia ESA Housing Laws

According to Virginia's Fair Housing Act (FHA), landlords must provide reasonable accommodations for any tenants who can show a valid ESA letter as proof and who have an emotional support animal. This means that regardless of the landlord's customary pet policy or limitations, they are not permitted to impose any additional fees or breed or weight limits on the animal.


A landlord may only lawfully refuse a renter with an ESA if the animal directly endangers the safety of others or significantly devalues the property or rental unit.


Virginia Fair Housing & Employment Act

Despite having protected access to public spaces, businesses are not required by federal law to make accommodations for emotional support animals. However, an employer is prohibited from treating you unfairly under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) because of your impairment or because you own an ESA. 

Some companies might be understanding. They will eventually decide whether you can bring your service animal to work with you. Your employer or HR department may be happy to let you bring your furry buddy to work if you present your ESA letter and explain your situation to them.
