Meet a Vermont-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Brattleboro is the commercial center of southeastern Vermont, at the junction of Interstate 91 and Route 9.
For Brattleboro renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Vermont. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 11,900 residents, Brattleboro in Windham County is Vermont’s sixth-largest municipality. Renters across Downtown Brattleboro, West Brattleboro, Esteyville and Putney Road corridor rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Vermont has no ESA-specific housing statute, so the federal Fair Housing Act and Vermont’s own fair housing law set the rules. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Vermont Human Rights Commission or with HUD. For the details, read our Vermont ESA law guide.
