Yes, you can get an ESA letter in Montana entirely online through a licensed Montana therapist. Because Montana law requires a 30-day client-provider relationship, your signed letter is issued after that period rather than the same day.
No. Under Montana's HB 703 (Mont. Code Ann. § 70-24-114) and the federal Fair Housing Act, a valid ESA letter eliminates pet deposits, pet rent, and breed restrictions. Your landlord has legal obligations under both state and federal law. State enforcement through the Montana Human Rights Bureau 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. Landlords in Montana are required to accommodate valid ESA letters under the federal Fair Housing Act and the Montana Human Rights Act. Online registrations, ID cards, and certificates are not, by themselves, sufficient under Montana law (§ 70-24-114(5)). Read more about Montana ESA laws.
If your landlord rejects your ESA letter, file a complaint directly with the Montana Human Rights Bureau. State enforcement remains fully active. You can also file with HUD at hud.gov or call 1-800-669-9777. Contact us directly and we will liaise with your landlord on your behalf. If unresolved, you get a full refund.
No. ESA letters cover housing only under the Fair Housing Act. Your ESA does not have public access rights and airlines are no longer required to accommodate ESAs in the cabin.
