The local picture
Getting an ESA letter in Michigan
Michigan follows the federal Fair Housing Act with no added waiting period, and its large student-housing market — from Ann Arbor to East Lansing — processes ESA accommodations every semester.
University housing offices in Michigan typically expect documentation issued within the past year — plan an annual renewal if you live on campus.
Michigan law, in short: No 30-day rule and no state-specific letter form apply in Michigan. State law penalizes misrepresenting service animals, reinforcing the value of legitimate, verifiable ESA documentation.
