Meet by phone or secure video with a mental health professional licensed in Michigan. If an emotional support animal or psychiatric service dog is right for you, they issue proper documentation that holds up for housing.
From Detroit’s resurgent neighborhoods to the Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids markets, Michigan renters frequently encounter apartment pet limits. A valid emotional support animal letter, written by a Michigan-licensed professional, is what turns a no-pet lease into an approved accommodation.
Here is how it works in Michigan: complete a free pre-screening, talk with a licensed mental health professional by phone or video, and — if approved — receive a letter on the licensed mental health professional’s letterhead bearing their Michigan license number, generally within 10–15 minutes.
Telehealth means no waiting room and no commute — just a private conversation with a Michigan-licensed professional. The evaluation is genuine, which is the whole point; quiz-only “instant” letters are the kind Michigan landlords and several state laws treat as invalid.
Our Michigan-licensed mental health professionals serve renters across the state — from the capital, Lansing, to its largest city, Detroit, plus Detroit, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor and Lansing and every community in between. Whether you are signing a new lease, renewing an existing one, or moving into student housing, a current letter keeps your housing protections in place.
People whose emotional or mental health meaningfully affects daily life may qualify after an evaluation by a professional licensed in Michigan. A licensed mental health professional may consider conditions such as:
Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, or chronic worry that interferes with focus, sleep, or daily routines.
Persistent low mood, loss of motivation, or difficulty managing day-to-day responsibilities.
Trauma-related symptoms where the steady presence of an animal supports a sense of safety and grounding.
Insomnia, stress-related symptoms, or adjustment difficulties following a major life change.
Social anxiety or specific phobias that make unfamiliar or crowded environments overwhelming.
Other diagnosable conditions affecting attention, mood, or emotional regulation, as assessed clinically.

ESA housing protections in Michigan come from a federal foundation plus state-level detail — here is the plain-language version.
Michigan renters are often targeted by ESA “registration” schemes. Knowing the difference between real and fake protects you.
They protect different things. Understanding the difference helps Michigan residents choose what actually fits their needs.
Provide comfort and companionship and help ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. No special training is required. Protected for housing under the Fair Housing Act with a valid letter from a licensed provider — no public-access or air-travel rights.
Individually trained to perform specific tasks for a psychiatric disability — such as grounding during a panic episode or interrupting harmful patterns. Covered under the ADA with full public access. A PSD letter documents the disability, but training, not paperwork, is what defines a service dog.
Clear answers to the most common questions about emotional support animals and your housing rights in Michigan.
Begin with a free pre-screening. A licensed mental health professional takes it from there — and you’re only charged if approved.
