Live with your animal in South Dakota without pet fees or breed restrictions. Our licensed network clinicians adhere to federal and South Dakota state laws.
If you live in South Dakota, you are protected under the federal Fair Housing Act. This allows individuals with mental health conditions (such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD) to live with their emotional support animals even in "no-pet" housing.
Landlords in South Dakota are required to accept a legitimate ESA letter written by a licensed healthcare professional. They cannot charge you pet rent, pet deposits, or apply breed/weight restrictions.
To qualify, a licensed professional must determine that you have a mental or emotional disability and that the animal provides support that alleviates at least one symptom of that disability.
Our network includes clinicians licensed specifically in South Dakota. This is critical because out-of-state letters are often rejected by landlords. We ensure your documentation meets all local board of psychology requirements.
100% Money-Back Guarantee
Under the Fair Housing Act, landlords in South Dakota must make reasonable accommodations unless the building has 4 or fewer units and the landlord lives there, or if the animal poses a direct threat to safety.
No state, including South Dakota, maintains an official government registry for ESAs. The only legal document you need is the letter from a licensed clinician, which we provide.
Many states have passed laws making it a crime to misrepresent a pet as a service animal. It is crucial to use a legitimate service like ours that pairs you with a licensed healthcare professional in South Dakota to ensure full compliance.
