Meet a New Jersey-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Trenton is New Jersey's capital; about 62% of occupied housing units are renter-occupied (ACS 2020-2024, via Census QuickFacts).
For Trenton renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in New Jersey. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 91,500 residents, Trenton in Mercer County is New Jersey’s tenth-largest municipality. Renters across Downtown Trenton, Chambersburg, Mill Hill, Hiltonia, Cadwalader Heights and North Trenton rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
New Jersey has no ESA-specific housing statute, so the federal Fair Housing Act and New Jersey’s own fair housing law set the rules. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights or with HUD. For the details, read our New Jersey ESA law guide.
