You will be able to get an apartment in a no-animal building. You will also be able to travel with your ESA.

Here one thing to remember that according to the ESA laws in Massachusetts, your ESA is considered a part of your medication that is why it is allowed to go on no-animal places.

Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
