Your landlord has legal obligations under both state and federal law. State enforcement through the Kansas Human Rights Commission remains fully active.

Any mental health condition that significantly affects daily life qualifies, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, and social anxiety.

Yes. Any licensed health professional who knows your condition, including your primary care doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist or counselor, can write an ESA letter if they believe an emotional support animal helps you. Many doctors are unfamiliar with ESA letters or prefer not to write them, so many Kansas residents use a licensed mental health professional instead. Read our guide on how to ask your doctor for an ESA letter.

A dog's breed, size, age or lack of training does not by itself disqualify it as an ESA. A Kansas landlord may refuse a specific dog only if it poses a direct threat to others' safety or would cause substantial damage that cannot be reduced, based on the dog's actual behavior rather than its breed, or if there is no disability-related need for the animal. Dogs must also follow local laws such as licensing and vaccination. Read more about when a landlord can deny an ESA and Kansas ESA laws.
