Meet a Delaware-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Dover Air Force Base and Delaware State University drive rental demand in the state capital. Census QuickFacts (ACS 2020-2024) reports an owner-occupied housing rate of 46.9%, so roughly 53% of occupied homes are rented.
A letter from a Delaware-licensed mental health professional is the documentation behind a reasonable accommodation request — the step that lets a renter ask to set aside a no-pet rule, pet rent and pet deposits.
With roughly 40,600 residents, Dover in Kent County is Delaware’s second-largest city. Renters across Downtown Dover, The Green, Camden, Rodney Village and Dover Air Force Base area rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Delaware has no ESA-specific housing statute, so the federal Fair Housing Act and Delaware’s own fair housing law set the rules. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Delaware Division of Human Relations (State Human Relations Commission) or with HUD. For the details, read our Delaware ESA law guide.
