ESA letters in Illinois: FAQ
Can I get an ESA letter online in Illinois?
Yes. A telehealth evaluation is valid as long as the provider is licensed in Illinois and the evaluation is a real clinical assessment, not a flat-fee form.
Does my provider have to be licensed in Illinois?
Yes. For a Illinois housing accommodation, the letter should come from a mental health professional licensed in Illinois. The providers below are licensed there.
Can a Illinois landlord charge a pet fee for my ESA?
Under the federal Fair Housing Act, an emotional support animal is a reasonable accommodation rather than a pet, so landlords generally cannot charge pet deposits or pet fees.
