In plain language
Yes — Arizona’s fair-housing definitions cover emotional-support animals (trained or untrained), and the state’s reasonable-accommodation provision requires a landlord to make exceptions to a “no pets” policy for a qualifying ESA. A legitimate letter from a licensed provider supports the request. This is general information, not legal advice — consult an Arizona-licensed attorney about your situation.
