Sterling Heights ESA Letter — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Macomb County residents.
Will my Sterling Heights apartment complex accept an ESA letter?
Yes. All Sterling Heights rental properties — including large Hall Road and Mound Road apartment complexes — must comply with the Fair Housing Act and Michigan PWDCRA. No pet fees or breed restrictions apply to your ESA.
How do I submit an ESA accommodation request in Sterling Heights?
Download your signed ESA letter from our HIPAA-secure portal, then submit it alongside your rental accommodation request form. Sterling Heights property managers typically respond within 10 business days.
Are Clinton Township rentals also covered?
Yes. Federal FHA protections cover all Macomb County cities — Sterling Heights, Clinton Township, Utica, and Shelby Township rentals are all equally covered.
What if my Sterling Heights HOA has a no-pet policy?
Your valid ESA letter overrides HOA no-pet policies. ESAs are not pets under Fair Housing law, so the HOA's pet restriction cannot be applied to your emotional support animal.
