Understanding Maryland ESA Housing Rights
Navigating landlord rules can be stressful, but federal and state laws protect your right to live with your emotional support animal. In Maryland, landlords are legally required to provide "reasonable accommodations" for tenants with valid ESA documentation.
The Official Law
Maryland requires all property managers to waive pet fees for legitimate ESAs. A valid letter from a licensed mental health professional is the standard documentation required.
Citation: Maryland Fair Housing LawWhat Landlords Cannot Do in Maryland:
- Charge you upfront pet deposits or monthly "pet rent".
- Deny your application based solely on the breed or weight of your animal.
- Require your animal to have specific training (ESAs are not Service Dogs).
- Ask for detailed medical records regarding your specific diagnosis.
