In plain language

Yes — Indiana has a dedicated ESA-in-housing chapter (§§ 22-9-7-1 to -14): a tenant can keep an emotional-support animal with a health provider’s written verification, a landlord cannot charge an extra fee for it, and faking one is a Class A infraction. A legitimate provider letter is what supports the request. This is general information, not legal advice — consult an Indiana-licensed attorney about your situation.
