Milford straddles the Kent-Sussex county line and is home to Bayhealth's Sussex Campus hospital.
For Milford renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Delaware. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 14,700 residents, Milford in Sussex County is Delaware’s fifth-largest city. Renters across Downtown Milford, Mispillion Riverwalk, Lincoln, Ellendale and Houston 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.
