Description

An employee lease agreement is an agreement between a company and another party whereby the company agrees to contract out the services of some or all of its employees to the other party on specific terms and conditions.

The employees are actually employed by a third-party leasing company, but do their work for the company that contracts with the leasing company. In addition to relieving companies of the administrative responsibilities of managing a workforce, leasing employees can also save a company money by reducing the cost of benefits and insurance, to name just two areas.

FAQ

Landlords are more than welcome to verify an ESA letter. The letters should come on the professional letterhead of the mental health professional along with their contact information, phone number, and email address. The letter will also include the therapist's license number.

For a person to legally have an emotional support animal (ESA), the owner must be considered to have a qualifying mental health or psychiatric disability by a licensed mental health professional (e.g., therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, etc.), which is documented by a properly formatted prescription letter.

To get an ESA, you will need to obtain a legitimate document issued by a licensed professional that can identify a pet as an ESA, called an ESA letter. To obtain an ESA letter, a person has to go through an evaluation process, or screening, with a licensed mental health professional.

However, the landlord can deny you an emotional support animal if it poses a 'direct threat' to other tenants or staff. This includes animals that bite or attack others. The landlord must look at your animal individually. They cannot just make general assumptions about a type of dog.

You can simply ask your doctor if they would be willing to provide you with an ESA letter to support your emotional well-being. Be prepared to discuss how an ESA could benefit your mental health and any specific symptoms or conditions you're experiencing.

Wait until a landlord accepts your application and offers you the place, then tell them you have an ESA and ask if that should be reflected in the lease or not. If they withdraw the offer you have a pretty strong case of housing discrimination (assuming you can prove the animal has ESA bona fides).

How do I get one? In order to get the benefits of an ESA, you will need a “prescription” from a mental health professional. This is basically just a signed letter stating that you have a mental health condition and that your pet helps you deal with it.

As long as you continue to provide the necessary documentation from a licensed healthcare professional confirming your need for an ESA, your landlord cannot deny your request based solely on the need for annual renewal.

An ESA letter is written by a practicing Licensed Mental Health Professional (LMHP), and must include their license number, type, and the date it was issued. Furthermore, it needs to contain the date the ESA letter was issued and the signature of the LMHP who issued the ESA letter.
