Meet a Alaska-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Fort Wainwright, nearby Eielson Air Force Base, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks drive rental demand. Census QuickFacts (ACS 2020-2024) reports an owner-occupied housing rate of 39.8%, so roughly 60% of occupied homes are rented.
For Fairbanks renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Alaska. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 31,500 residents, Fairbanks in Fairbanks North Star Borough is Alaska’s third-largest city. Renters across Downtown Fairbanks, College, Hamilton Acres, South Fairbanks and North Pole rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Alaska has no ESA-specific housing statute, so the federal Fair Housing Act and Alaska’s own fair housing law set the rules. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights or with HUD. For the details, read our Alaska ESA law guide.

Quickly — same-day slots are usually open, and approved letters reach you within 10-15 minutes of the evaluation.
Yes. Your letter should come from someone holding an active Alaska license — that’s the first thing a Fairbanks landlord is likely to verify.
