For Farmington Hills renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Michigan. 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, Farmington Hills in Oakland County is Michigan’s tenth-largest city. Renters across Farmington, Novi, West Bloomfield, Southfield and Livonia rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Michigan has no ESA-specific housing statute, so the federal Fair Housing Act and Michigan’s own fair housing law set the rules. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Michigan Department of Civil Rights (Michigan Civil Rights Commission) or with HUD. For the details, read our Michigan ESA law guide.
