Meet a Michigan-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Livonia is a western Wayne County suburb of Detroit and home to Schoolcraft College and Madonna University. Most of its housing is owner-occupied single-family homes.
A letter from a Michigan-licensed mental health professional is the documentation behind a reasonable accommodation request — the step that lets a renter ask to set aside a no-pet rule, pet rent and pet deposits.
With roughly 92,600 residents, Livonia in Wayne County is Michigan’s eighth-largest city. Renters across Rosedale Gardens, Farmington Hills, Westland, Redford and Northville 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.

Yes. What matters is a real evaluation by a professional licensed in Michigan, not whether the appointment happened in person or by video.
Usually not. A landlord has to consider a reasonable accommodation request backed by a valid letter and can deny it only on limited grounds, such as a direct threat or undue burden. Small owner-occupied buildings may be exempt.
Most people are seen the same day, and if you’re approved the signed letter arrives within 10-15 minutes.
Yes. Your letter should come from someone holding an active Michigan license — that’s the first thing a Livonia landlord is likely to verify.
It does. Association rules in Livonia fall under the same fair housing law as a landlord’s pet policy.
