Meet a Nebraska-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Kearney is home to the University of Nebraska at Kearney, and student renters are a significant part of its housing market.
For Kearney renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Nebraska. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 34,800 residents, Kearney in Buffalo County is Nebraska’s fifth-largest city. Renters across Downtown Kearney, University of Nebraska at Kearney campus, The Archway area and Gibbon rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Nebraska has no ESA-specific housing statute, so the federal Fair Housing Act and Nebraska’s own fair housing law set the rules. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission (NEOC) or with HUD. For the details, read our Nebraska ESA law guide.

Yes. What matters is a real evaluation by a professional licensed in Nebraska, not whether the appointment happened in person or by video.

Quickly — same-day slots are usually open, and approved letters reach you within 10-15 minutes of the evaluation.
Yes. Your letter should come from someone holding an active Nebraska license — that’s the first thing a Kearney landlord is likely to verify.
