In Florida, your ESA housing rights rest first on state law. Florida Statute 760.27 sets the documentation standards for emotional support animals and requires housing providers to accept reliable ESA letters from licensed health care practitioners, with no extra compensation charged for the animal. This state protection is enforced by the Florida Commission on Human Relations 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 Mims who refuse a valid ESA letter or continue charging pet fees may be in violation of Florida Statute 760.27 and federal law. Complaints can be filed with the Florida Commission on Human Relations.
