Dover is the seat of Strafford County, and the University of New Hampshire in neighboring Durham adds to local rental demand.
A letter from a New Hampshire-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 34,600 residents, Dover in Strafford County is New Hampshire’s fourth-largest municipality. Renters across Downtown Dover, Cocheco Mills, Bellamy and Durham rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
New Hampshire has no ESA-specific housing statute, so the federal Fair Housing Act and New Hampshire’s own fair housing law set the rules. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the New Hampshire Commission for Human Rights or with HUD. For the details, read our New Hampshire ESA law guide.
