Meet a Utah-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Sandy is a south Salt Lake Valley suburb near the mouths of Little and Big Cottonwood canyons, with TRAX light rail connecting it to Salt Lake City.
A letter from a Utah-licensed mental health professional is the documentation behind a reasonable accommodation request — the step that lets a renter ask to set aside a no-pet rule, pet rent and pet deposits.
With roughly 92,400 residents, Sandy in Salt Lake County is Utah’s eighth-largest city. Renters across Historic Sandy, The Cairns, Dimple Dell, Alta Canyon and Granite rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Utah law protects tenants with disabilities who have a service animal or a support animal (an animal that qualifies as a reasonable accommodation under federal law) in private rental housing: the owner may not discriminate or charge an extra fee or deposit for the animal, though the tenant remains liable for damage it causes (Utah Code 26B-6-803). Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Utah Antidiscrimination and Labor Division (Utah Labor Commission) or with HUD. For the details, read our Utah ESA law guide.

Most people are seen the same day, and if you’re approved the signed letter arrives within 10-15 minutes.
Yes. Your letter should come from someone holding an active Utah license — that’s the first thing a Sandy landlord is likely to verify.
Yes. The Fair Housing Act reaches HOAs, condo boards and co-ops, so community pet rules are subject to the same reasonable accommodation process.
