Meet a Kentucky-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Nicholasville is a fast-growing commuter city just south of Lexington, and Asbury University is in nearby Wilmore.
For Nicholasville renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Kentucky. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 33,900 residents, Nicholasville in Jessamine County is Kentucky’s tenth-largest city. Renters across Downtown Nicholasville, Brannon Crossing, Wilmore and Keene rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.

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