Is it legal for my housing application to be denied because I didn’t have an ESA letter?
How do I get legal help?

Right now, you don't have a legal argument to file anything against the landlord. Unfortunately, their denial wasn't illegal. You said you didn't provide an ESA letter to the landlord at all. They can legally deny your housing application for that reason (HUD - Assessing a Person’s Request to Have an Animal as a Reasonable Accommodation).

How do I get legal help?
Ashley R., Esq.
Thank you for requesting me. Legal help for what exactly?
The application for housing.
For the ESA being different.

OK
Ashley R., Esq.
Are you able to get an ESA letter in order to avoid this situation in the future? That would be the best next step.
He said that it had to be dated before the application date and that he was not taking any thing after.
Ashley R., Esq.
I understand. I mean getting a letter to use for a different housing situation in the future.
Yes, I'm waiting for one in the mail.
Ashley R., Esq.
Okay, great. That will certainly be helpful. Unfortunately, there isn't anything you can do about the housing application which was denied.
OK
Ashley R., Esq.
Do you have any other questions for me?
No thanks.
Ashley R., Esq.
