Meet a Mississippi-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Tupelo is the commercial center of northeast Mississippi; North Mississippi Medical Center is the area's largest employer.
For Tupelo renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Mississippi. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 38,100 residents, Tupelo in Lee County is Mississippi’s seventh-largest city. Renters across Downtown Tupelo, Fairpark District, East Tupelo, Belden and Saltillo rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Mississippi has no ESA-specific housing statute, so the federal Fair Housing Act and Mississippi’s own fair housing law set the rules. Mississippi has no state fair housing agency, so housing discrimination complaints go to HUD’s Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. For the details, read our Mississippi ESA law guide.

It is. Tupelo landlords look at whether a licensed Mississippi professional actually evaluated you; telehealth evaluations are standard practice.
Usually not. A landlord has to consider a reasonable accommodation request backed by a valid letter and can deny it only on limited grounds, such as a direct threat or undue burden. Small owner-occupied buildings may be exempt.
Quickly — same-day slots are usually open, and approved letters reach you within 10-15 minutes of the evaluation.
It does. The professional must hold an active Mississippi license, which is who you’re matched with when you select Tupelo.
Yes. The Fair Housing Act reaches HOAs, condo boards and co-ops, so community pet rules are subject to the same reasonable accommodation process.
An ESA letter is $129 for up to two pets, or $199 for three or more. PSD letters are $149, or $229 for up to three pets — and you’re only charged if approved.
