Meet a Oregon-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Gresham is on the MAX Blue Line at the east end of the Portland metro and has a large stock of apartments. About 44.2% of occupied housing units are renter-occupied (ACS 2020-2024, Census QuickFacts).
A letter from a Oregon-licensed mental health professional is the documentation behind a reasonable accommodation request — the step that lets a renter ask to set aside a no-pet rule, pet rent and pet deposits.
With roughly 112,000 residents, Gresham in Multnomah County is Oregon’s fourth-largest city. Renters across Historic Downtown, Rockwood, Pleasant Valley, Centennial and Troutdale rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Oregon has no comprehensive emotional support animal statute, but its landlord-tenant law (ORS 90.300(4)) bars landlords from charging a pet security deposit for a service animal or companion animal that a tenant with a disability needs as a reasonable accommodation under fair housing laws. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI), Civil Rights Division or with HUD. For the details, read our Oregon ESA law guide.

It is. Gresham landlords look at whether a licensed Oregon professional actually evaluated you; telehealth evaluations are standard practice.
Only on narrow grounds. A valid letter supports a reasonable accommodation request that sets aside no-pet rules; denials are limited to cases like a specific animal posing a direct threat, and some small owner-occupied buildings are exempt.
Quickly — same-day slots are usually open, and approved letters reach you within 10-15 minutes of the evaluation.
It does. The professional must hold an active Oregon license, which is who you’re matched with when you select Gresham.
Yes. The Fair Housing Act reaches HOAs, condo boards and co-ops, so community pet rules are subject to the same reasonable accommodation process.
An ESA letter is $129 for up to two pets, or $199 for three or more. PSD letters are $149, or $229 for up to three pets — and you’re only charged if approved.
