Smyrna straddles the Kent-New Castle county line and serves as a commuter town between Dover and Wilmington.
For Smyrna 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 13,300 residents, Smyrna in Kent County is Delaware’s sixth-largest city. Renters across Downtown Smyrna, Clayton, Lake Como and Duck Creek 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.
