Understanding North Dakota 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 North Dakota, landlords are legally required to provide "reasonable accommodations" for tenants with valid ESA documentation.

The Official Law

North Dakota requires landlords to waive pet policies and pet rent for individuals with a valid ESA. Landlords can deny a specific animal only if it poses a direct threat that cannot be mitigated.

What Landlords Cannot Do in North Dakota:

  • 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.
