Asset Living Tells Renters to Ask Each Community for Its Exact Pet Rules

Asset Living publishes no pet policy on the pages we read, and a pet amenities post on its site tells readers to consult their apartment community for the exact rules and policies. The company says it has over 455K units under management and clients in over 40 states. ESA Card has no connection to Asset Living: its registration is the ID card you carry beside your provider's letter.

Asset Living has no pet policy page that we found. We read its homepage, which says nothing about pets, and a blog post, 5 Communities with Luxury Pet Amenities, dated August 30, 2023. Everything below about Asset Living comes from them, read on November 5, 2026, with its quotes exact. The old FPI Management address, fpimgt.com, redirected to assetliving.com when we tried it, and Asset Living's pages we read do not mention FPI.

What is Asset Living's pet policy?

Asset Living does not publish a pet policy on the pages we read, and its pet amenities post points readers to their own community. The post reads "any reference to amenities, services, rules, policies, or procedures at an apartment community is general in nature" and "please consult with your apartment community for the exact amenities, services, rules, policies, or procedures applicable." It describes dog parks, a dog spa and a pet spa at five communities, and gives no amount for a pet fee, no limit and no breed rule.

Does Asset Living allow emotional support animals?

The Asset Living pages we read do not mention emotional support animals or assistance animals, so its answer has to come from the apartment community you are applying to. The post itself says to consult the community for the exact rules, so the questions below go to the leasing office in writing:

What does Asset Living charge for pets?

The Asset Living pages we read give no amount for a pet fee, deposit or monthly rent. Ask the community for the figures in writing, and ask which of them, if any, apply to an assistance animal. HUD's own statement on fees is below.

How do you ask Asset Living for an emotional support animal?

Asset Living publishes no request process on the pages we read, so the request starts with a written message to your community's leasing office. Five steps keep it clean:

1. Contact your community's leasing office before the animal moves in.
2. Ask for its assistance animal request process and any form it uses.
3. Put your request in writing and keep a copy of everything you send.
4. Give a letter from your provider when the community asks for documentation.
5. Ask in writing whether any pet charge applies, and keep the answer.

What do HUD's own documents say about an emotional support animal at an Asset Living community?

The Fair Housing Act covers Asset Living like any other landlord, and HUD's own statement says a housing provider may ask for reliable proof of the disability and the need, but may not charge extra fees or deposits for an accommodation. HUD and the Justice Department's joint statement on reasonable accommodations, dated May 17, 2004 and still on hud.gov when we read it, says a provider "may request reliable disability-related information" when a disability is not obvious, and that "housing providers may not require persons with disabilities to pay extra fees or deposits as a condition of receiving a reasonable accommodation." It adds that a tenant can still be billed for damage the animal causes. The Asset Living pages we read give no fee amounts and do not say whether any charge applies to an assistance animal.

HUD has since changed how it enforces this. It withdrew its 2013 and 2020 assistance animal notices, effective September 17, 2025, and since May 22, 2026 its fair housing office pursues an animal complaint only when the animal is trained to do disability-related work or tasks (HUD's enforcement memo). The Fair Housing Act itself, your right to go to court and state laws did not change, and a 2025 federal decision attached to the memo found that waiving one $400 animal fee was not required on its facts, so fees are decided case by case. Our page on HUD's emotional support animal rules has the documents, and our guide to pet deposits, pet rent and fees for an ESA has the cases.

What should an ESA letter include when you give it to Asset Living?

A letter from a licensed provider who evaluated you and can be reached, on letterhead with their license number and a signature, gives a leasing team something it can check. Our free sample ESA letter shows each part, and our guide to who can write an ESA letter covers which licenses count. The quickest route is a therapist, psychiatrist or doctor who already treats you, because they know you and can confirm the letter if Asset Living calls. The Asset Living pages we read do not list the documents it asks for, so ask your community what it needs to see. The checks anyone can run on a letter are in how to verify an ESA letter.

No provider of your own? In Florida, New Jersey and New York we can book you a live video evaluation with an independent therapist licensed in your state: $120, with $80 back if they can't approve you, and the therapist alone decides on the letter. You can book in Florida, book in New Jersey or book in New York.

Other managers publish different rules. Our guides to Bozzuto, Greystar and AMH read each company's own pages the same way, our study of what 16 large landlords publish about emotional support animals counts all sixteen, and our guide to how PetScreening reviews an ESA request covers the screening service many properties use.

Alongside the letter, ESA Card registration gives your animal a digital ESA Card with its photo, a certificate and a number anyone can check at esacard.com/verify, for $39$59$79$99 once, in about three minutes. It is handy for the everyday questions; the letter from your provider is the document a housing provider can ask for.
