Civil rights: housing discrimination; housing discrimination based on source of income; prohibit. Amends 1972 PA 348 (MCL 554.601 - 554.616) by adding sec. 1d. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0205'23, SB 0206'23

This bill adds a new section to Michigan's landlord-tenant laws to provide specific legal remedies for individuals who face housing discrimination based on their source of income. It allows people who believe they have been discriminated against to file a civil lawsuit in circuit court to seek injunctive relief or financial damages. The potential damages are capped at either the actual injury and loss suffered or three times the monthly rent, whichever is lower, and also cover court costs and attorney fees. This legislation only takes effect if it is passed together with two related Senate bills, SB 0205 and SB 0206.
