Meet a Washington-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Vancouver draws renters who work in Portland but prefer Washington's cost and tax structure, keeping demand steady.
A valid letter from a Washington-licensed mental health professional is what turns a no-pet lease into an approved accommodation — no pet rent, no pet deposit, and no breed or weight limit.
Washington's Human Rights Commission handles housing complaints alongside HUD's regional office in Seattle. Renters across Vancouver — including Downtown, Uptown Village, Felida, Salmon Creek and Cascade Park — rely on the same federal protections, whatever the building looks like.
It starts with a free pre-screening, then a private telehealth visit with a Washington-licensed professional. Approved letters arrive within 10-15 minutes, and there’s no charge unless you’re approved.
Your letter is issued under the Fair Housing Act, which covers where you live — apartments, condos, HOAs, and student housing. It doesn’t grant public access to stores or restaurants, and airlines have treated emotional support animals as pets since 2021. For the full picture, read our Washington ESA law guide.

Quickly — same-day slots are usually open, and approved letters reach you within 10-15 minutes of the evaluation.
Yes. The professional must hold an active Washington license, which is exactly who you're matched with when you select Vancouver.
