Meet a Utah-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Salt Lake City has grown fast, and new downtown buildings almost always charge pet rent on top of a deposit.
A valid letter from a Utah-licensed mental health professional is what turns a no-pet lease into an approved accommodation — no pet rent, no pet deposit, and no breed or weight limit.
The University of Utah adds a significant student renter population close to the city center. Renters across Salt Lake City — including the Avenues, Sugar House, Downtown, 9th and 9th and Rose Park — rely on the same federal protections, whatever the building looks like.
It starts with a free pre-screening, then a private telehealth visit with a Utah-licensed professional. Approved letters arrive within 10-15 minutes, and there’s no charge unless you’re approved.
Your letter is issued under the Fair Housing Act, which covers where you live — apartments, condos, HOAs, and student housing. It doesn’t grant public access to stores or restaurants, and airlines have treated emotional support animals as pets since 2021. For the full picture, read our Utah ESA law guide.

Quickly — same-day slots are usually open, and approved letters reach you within 10-15 minutes of the evaluation.
It does. Your letter has to come from someone licensed in Utah — that's the first thing a Salt Lake City landlord verifies.
Yes. The Fair Housing Act reaches HOAs, condo boards, and co-ops, so community pet bans give way to a valid accommodation.
