Why Boulder Landlords Accept Our ESA Letters

RealESALetter.com letters comply with Colorado ESA laws, the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA), and the federal Fair Housing Act. Every RealESALetter.com letter includes the clinician's state license number, issue date, and direct contact information, as required under the Fair Housing Act.

The Law Behind Your Protection

In Colorado, your ESA housing rights rest first on state law. Under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, as amended by HB26-1045, an emotional support animal is an assistance animal (C.R.S. § 24-34-301), and a complete ban on assistance animals in housing is presumed discriminatory (C.R.S. § 24-34-502.2). This state protection is enforced by the Colorado Civil Rights Division (CCRD) and remains fully active. The federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3604) provides the same obligation, and that statute has not changed.

Landlords in Boulder who refuse a valid ESA letter or continue charging pet fees may be in violation of the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA) and federal law. Complaints can be filed with the Colorado Civil Rights Division (CCRD)
