Meet a Missouri-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Lee's Summit is a fast-growing Kansas City suburb in Jackson County, with mostly owner-occupied housing.
A letter from a Missouri-licensed mental health professional is the documentation behind a reasonable accommodation request — the step that lets a renter ask to set aside a no-pet rule, pet rent and pet deposits.
With roughly 108,000 residents, Lee's Summit in Jackson County is Missouri’s sixth-largest city. Renters across Downtown Lee's Summit, Lakewood, Longview, Raymore and Blue Springs rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Missouri law makes it a crime to misrepresent any animal as an assistance animal to get a housing accommodation under the federal Fair Housing Act, including emotional support animals, or to lie to a health care provider to get the documentation (RSMo § 209.204). Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Missouri Commission on Human Rights or with HUD. For the details, read our Missouri ESA law guide.

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.
Most people are seen the same day, and if you’re approved the signed letter arrives within 10-15 minutes.
It does. The professional must hold an active Missouri license, which is who you’re matched with when you select Lee's Summit.
Yes. The Fair Housing Act reaches HOAs, condo boards and co-ops, so community pet rules are subject to the same reasonable accommodation process.
