Received a letter from a tenant that was written by her doctor of an internal medicine . She, the dr states she has seen and treated this Tenant for " routine medical care" and goes on to say "she has a known diagnosis of anxiety. and states the patient feels that her cat provides help with anxiety and she requested her cat be permitted at her condo in the role of emotional support animal. I feel this is very reasonable if you have questions or concerns, the doctor signed at KDA Smith, DO."

My question is.. is this a legitimate ESA letter that I have to accept as a landlord? The doctor does not mention that she has herself treated her, the patient for anxiety herself or that the cat is any part of a treatment . it does not appear that she's any kind of psychiatric or mental health doctor. I also want a note that over six months ago. The cat was found in this apartment and was asked to remove it and she did and now she's back with this request. Can i request that a letter be sent from a mental health Dr? or do i surrender? also do i reply to the dr or the Tenant? thank you in advance for your opinions. Best
