Public Interest Documentation

Share Your Post-2025 Fee Experience

Since HUD withdrew its ESA guidance on September 17, 2025, tenants have reported a surge in ESA-related fees and denials. Help us document the pattern. Your information is confidential and used for educational and public interest purposes only.

Why this matters: When HUD withdrew FHEO-2020-01, some housing providers began charging fees that courts have found may violate the Fair Housing Act. Documenting the scope and pattern of these charges โ€” by state, property type, and fee amount โ€” helps researchers, journalists, and policy advocates understand the real-world impact.

This is not a legal complaint process. TenantPetRights.org does not provide legal assistance, does not refer tenants to attorneys, and does not contact landlords on your behalf. This is educational documentation only.
