Indiana University Bloomington makes this a college town with a large student renter population.
For Bloomington renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Indiana. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 83,300 residents, Bloomington in Monroe County is Indiana’s seventh-largest city. Renters across Downtown Bloomington, Prospect Hill, Elm Heights, Bryan Park and Old Northeast rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Indiana has a law specifically about emotional support animals in housing (Indiana Code 22-9-7), in effect since July 1, 2018. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Indiana Civil Rights Commission or with HUD. For the details, read our Indiana ESA law guide.
