Meet a Arkansas-licensed mental health professional by phone or video for an evaluation that meets Arkansas’s ESA rules.
Rogers is part of the fast-growing Northwest Arkansas region, where many Walmart suppliers have offices in the Pinnacle Hills area.
A letter from a Arkansas-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 77,000 residents, Rogers in Benton County is Arkansas’s sixth-largest city. Renters across Downtown Rogers, Pinnacle Hills, Lake Atalanta, Pleasant Grove and Prairie Creek rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Arkansas's 2023 emotional support animal law (Act 268) says a health care provider may document a person's need for an emotional support dog only if the provider is licensed where the documentation is given, lists license details, has a client relationship of at least 30 days (homeless individuals excepted), does a clinical evaluation, and reviews the need each year; providers who break these rules face licensing-board discipline. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Arkansas Fair Housing Commission or with HUD. For the details, read our Arkansas ESA law guide.

Yes. What matters is a real evaluation by a professional licensed in Arkansas, not whether the appointment happened in person or by video.
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.
Arkansas law requires the licensed professional to have a client relationship with you for at least 30 days before writing an ESA letter, so plan for at least that long from your first appointment.
It does. The professional must hold an active Arkansas license, which is who you’re matched with when you select Rogers.
It does. Association rules in Rogers fall under the same fair housing law as a landlord’s pet policy.
