Jackson is Mississippi's capital and home to Jackson State University, Millsaps College, Belhaven University and the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
For Jackson renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Mississippi. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 141,000 residents, Jackson in Hinds County is Mississippi’s largest city. Renters across Fondren, Belhaven, Downtown Jackson, Eastover, Midtown and LeFleur's Bluff rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.

Mississippi has no state fair housing agency, so housing discrimination complaints go to HUD’s Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. For the details, read our Mississippi ESA law guide.
