Does Ohio have its own ESA law?
Educational content, not legal advice. For your specific situation, consult a state-licensed attorney.
What the law says
Ohio Rev. Code § 4112.02(H) (Ohio Civil Rights Act) bars disability discrimination in housing, and OCRC guidance applies it to ESAs; Ohio has no ESA-specific statute.
In plain language
Not a dedicated one — Ohio’s Civil Rights Act carries the FHA-style accommodation duty and the Ohio Civil Rights Commission treats emotional-support animals as a housing accommodation, but the state has no separate ESA statute. A legitimate letter from a licensed provider supports the accommodation. This is general information, not legal advice — consult an Ohio-licensed attorney about your situation.
