Meet a Nevada-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Fernley is a fast-growing Lyon County city east of Reno, and many residents commute to the nearby Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center.
For Fernley renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Nevada. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 26,200 residents, Fernley in Lyon County is Nevada’s seventh-largest city. Renters across Downtown Fernley, Wadsworth, Fallon and Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Nevada law (NRS 118.105) bars landlords from refusing to rent to a person with a disability just because an animal that assists, supports or provides service to that person will live with them. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Nevada Equal Rights Commission (NERC) or with HUD. For the details, read our Nevada ESA law guide.

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 Nevada license, which is who you’re matched with when you select Fernley.
Yes. The Fair Housing Act reaches HOAs, condo boards and co-ops, so community pet rules are subject to the same reasonable accommodation process.
