Does anyone have valid tips on how to combat ESA fraud? I request doctor's letters instead of some certificate randomly purchased online, but I KNOW a lot of them (not all) equally as fake and just paid for. I also hate losing valuable market time when I ask for ESA forms and have to wait 2-3 days...

Guest Insider we also have a form that the resident or prospective resident fills out. We send it to the dr or 3rd party verifier. If we do not receive it back from the verifier we sent it to, then we call to verify that it was filled out by the office.

Guest Insider Absolutely not correct. Needs to come from licensed health provider

Judy Bellack I agree with everyone here who has recommended PetScreening.com to handle these requests for you - they have the expertise and there is no cost to either the operator or the resident/prospective resident as long as we are talking about a service or ESA accommodation request.

There is a bigger picture, however, which is that breed and weight restrictions (as well as rapidly growing pet fees) play a big role in driving fraudulent requests. I wrote a blog posted here on MFI on this very topic that is worth a read:

You may want to think about whether your current pet restrictions are relevant for today's renter; you'll find a great deal of info on this topic by visiting www.petsandhousing.org/ (www.petsandhousing.org/)
