Meet a Idaho-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Pocatello is home to Idaho State University, and student housing makes up a significant part of the rental market near campus.
A letter from a Idaho-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 58,800 residents, Pocatello in Bannock County is Idaho’s sixth-largest city. Renters across Old Town Pocatello, Idaho State University area, Chubbuck, Highland and Johnny Creek rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Idaho has no ESA-specific housing statute, so the federal Fair Housing Act and Idaho’s own fair housing law set the rules. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Idaho Human Rights Commission or with HUD. For the details, read our Idaho ESA law guide.
