Signed ESA and PSD Letters for Greenville Tenants and Furman Students
Whether home is a North Main bungalow or an apartment near Furman, the free screening comes first, then a plan of your choosing and a video visit with a South Carolina-licensed clinician. A request the clinician supports ends with a signed letter for your landlord or campus housing office.

How a Greenville Request Moves From Screening to Signature
Talk it through on camera
Once checkout is done, your clinician, licensed in South Carolina, joins a secure video call and weighs whether a letter fits your situation.
A letter in your account, or a reason
A yes means a signed letter to download; a no arrives with an explanation, and a refund can then be requested under our policy.
The screening itself costs you nothing, and you decide afterward whether to book an evaluation.

What Backs a Greenville ESA Letter From Us
Property managers from the West End to Verdae read these letters closely, especially in no-pet buildings, so this is what a Greenville ESA letter from us contains.
- A named, licensed signer
- The South Carolina-licensed clinician who evaluated you signs it and lists the license, so anyone can look it up.
- The housing need, in plain terms
- It explains, in housing terms, the disability-related reason you keep an emotional support animal.
- A separate letter for a trained dog
- When your dog does trained tasks, the clinician writes a psychiatric service dog letter instead.
- A date and a reference number
- Both appear on the letter, and the reference can be checked on our verification page.
Where its reach ends
- Open restaurants, stores or offices to an emotional support animal.
- Stand in for Furman's own review of a housing request.
- Guarantee a yes before a clinician has evaluated you.
Requesting an Animal in Furman University Housing
Furman's Student Office for Accessibility Resources, known as SOAR, reviews assistance animal requests for University Housing as reasonable accommodations under the Fair Housing Act.
What the verification form asks your evaluator
- Who is writing. The name, signature, title and contact details of the health or social services professional, and how they know you.
- Which animal. The kind of animal you are requesting, such as a cat or a dog.
- Whether a disability is present. In Furman's form this means an impairment that substantially limits a major life activity, with boxes for things like sleeping, learning and concentrating.
- Why the animal is needed in housing. How the animal relates to that disability in University Housing.
SOAR accepts a letter that carries the same information in place of the form, sent to SOAR@furman.edu. Furman verification form
Greenlink Buses: Service Dogs Ride, ESAs Need a Call First
The city's rider information page sets the rule for animals on Greenlink, and it is written for trained service animals.
| Animal | What Greenlink's page says |
|---|---|
| Guide, signal or task-trained animal | Rides with you; Greenlink asks for no pass, certificate, harness or carrier. |
| Operator questions | At most two questions: is this a service animal, and what job has it been trained for? |
| When it can be refused | A direct threat to safety, a seriously disruptive ride, or an animal not under your control. |
| ESA or pet | Not addressed on the page, so check before you travel with one. |

Questions Greenville Tenants and Furman Students Ask
Furman How does Furman want an animal request in University Housing documented?
Through its Student Office for Accessibility Resources. The verification form asks a health or social services professional to describe your disability-related need for the animal in University Housing, and a letter carrying the same information may be attached instead.
Greenlink Is there a Greenlink rule for emotional support animals?
Not on its rider page, which covers only trained service animals; they ride without a pass, certification or harness. Call 864-467-5000 before bringing an emotional support animal or a pet.
Greenlink What may a Greenlink operator ask about my service dog?
Just two things: is it a service animal, and which task has it learned? Greenlink may refuse a dog that threatens safety, seriously disrupts the ride or is out of your control.
Shelter What are the hours at the county shelter on Furman Hall Road?
Greenville County Animal Care at 328 Furman Hall Road opens Monday through Saturday and stays closed on Sunday; call 864-467-3950, and staff return messages within 24 to 48 hours.
Care Which Greenville clinic offers public mental health services?
The Greater Greenville Mental Health Center runs its Greenville Clinic at 124 Mallard Street, 864-241-1040, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. For urgent help, call or text 988.
Legal aid Where can a Greenville renter get free civil legal help?
South Carolina Legal Services, 701 South Main St, for eligible low-income residents: (864) 679-3232 or (800) 763-4825, with Wednesday hours until 7 p.m.
Lease When must a Greenville landlord send back my deposit?
Thirty days from the end of the tenancy and your request, with any deductions listed, under section 27-40-410 of the South Carolina Code. A deposit kept wrongfully can cost the landlord three times the amount.
PSD Will a letter from my Greenville clinician work for a PSD as well?
A psychiatric service dog is covered by a separate PSD letter, written for a task-trained dog that helps with your disability. Choose the PSD plan, and the clinician evaluates that need during your video visit.

Sources for this page: Furman University, the City of Greenville's Greenlink pages, Greenville County Animal Care, BHDD, the legal aid office locator and the state Human Affairs Commission, each reviewed in October 2026, so the details are current as of October 2026. This is general guidance, not legal advice, and a lease or campus contract can change the answer. Screening does not guarantee a letter, since that judgment belongs to the clinician who evaluates you. Double-check anything that matters with the office itself, and for support in a hard moment, 988 is open by call or text at every hour.
