Meet a Oregon-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Medford is southern Oregon's regional hub; the 2020 Almeda Fire destroyed many homes in nearby Phoenix and Talent, tightening area rentals. About 43.7% 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 86,500 residents, Medford in Jackson County is Oregon’s eighth-largest city. Renters across Downtown, East Medford, Central Point, Jacksonville and Phoenix 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. Medford landlords look at whether a licensed Oregon professional actually evaluated you; telehealth evaluations are standard practice.
Usually not. A landlord has to consider a reasonable accommodation request backed by a valid letter and can deny it only on limited grounds, such as a direct threat or undue burden. Small owner-occupied buildings may be exempt.
Most people are seen the same day, and if you’re approved the signed letter arrives within 10-15 minutes.
Yes. Your letter should come from someone holding an active Oregon license — that’s the first thing a Medford landlord is likely to verify.
Yes. The Fair Housing Act reaches HOAs, condo boards and co-ops, so community pet rules are subject to the same reasonable accommodation process.
