Meet a Maine-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Bangor is a regional service hub; the University of Maine in nearby Orono and Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center add to rental demand.
For Bangor renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Maine. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 32,500 residents, Bangor in Penobscot County is Maine’s third-largest municipality. Renters across Downtown Bangor, West Market Square, Fairmount, Brewer and Orono rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
The Maine Human Rights Act specifically protects tenants who use assistance animals, including animals a physician, psychologist, physician associate, nurse practitioner, licensed social worker, licensed professional counselor or other licensed health professional has found necessary to mitigate a disability. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Maine Human Rights Commission or with HUD. For the details, read our Maine ESA law guide.
