The context
Why letters get renewed
An ESA letter doesn't have a federal expiration date, but many landlords, property managers, and college housing offices request a recently issued emotional support animal letter, typically within the last 12 months. Renewing your documentation confirms your continued need through a brief evaluation and provides a newly dated letter that meets current housing expectations.
When to renew
30–60 days before renewing your lease or moving to a new home.
Before each academic year if you live in college or university housing.
Whenever your housing provider requests updated ESA documentation.
How the renewal works
Returning clients complete a streamlined evaluation—usually around 15 minutes—with a licensed mental health professional licensed in their state. If your ongoing need for an emotional support animal is confirmed, your renewed ESA letter is typically issued within 24–48 hours. States requiring a 30-day client-provider relationship (AR, CA, IA, LA, and MT) follow the same legal timeline when a new clinician is involved.
Renewed elsewhere originally?
No problem. Many clients come to MyPetESA after receiving an online ESA letter or documentation that couldn't be verified. Your first evaluation with us is completed at our standard rate, and future ESA letter renewals are available for $79. Learn more in our complete guide on when ESA letters expire and when to renew them.
New lease coming up?
Renew your emotional support animal letter before your lease renewal so you'll have updated documentation ready when your landlord requests it.
