ESA Laws in Maryland
Maryland follows the federal Fair Housing Act and has additional state-level housing protections under the Maryland Fair Housing Law (Md. Code Ann., State Gov’t § 20-101 et seq.). Maryland prohibits discrimination in housing based on disability, and landlords must engage in a good-faith interactive process when an ESA accommodation is requested. Maryland’s federal government corridor (Montgomery County, Prince George’s County) has a large population of renters who frequently encounter no-pet policies — making ESA documentation particularly valuable for residents throughout the Baltimore-Washington metro area.
Who Qualifies for an ESA Letter in Maryland?
You must have a diagnosed mental health disability that substantially limits a major life activity, AND your provider must clinically determine that an ESA provides meaningful therapeutic benefit. Common qualifying conditions:
- Anxiety Disorders (GAD, panic, social)
- Major Depressive Disorder
- PTSD
- OCD
- Bipolar Disorder
- Insomnia Disorder
