Understanding Missouri ESA Housing Rights
Navigating landlord rules can be stressful, but federal and state laws protect your right to live with your emotional support animal. In Missouri, landlords are legally required to provide "reasonable accommodations" for tenants with valid ESA documentation.
The Official Law
In Missouri, housing providers must allow ESAs and cannot impose pet deposits or breed restrictions. A landlord is permitted to ask for written verification from a therapist if the disability is unseen.
Citation: Missouri Human Rights ActWhat Landlords Cannot Do in Missouri:
- Charge you upfront pet deposits or monthly "pet rent".
- Deny your application based solely on the breed or weight of your animal.
- Require your animal to have specific training (ESAs are not Service Dogs).
- Ask for detailed medical records regarding your specific diagnosis.
