HB 4711 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Liens: other; requirements for self-service storage rental agreements; provide for. Amends sec. 3 of 1985 PA 148 (MCL 570.523).

HB 4711 amends Michigan's Self-Service Storage Facility Act to clarify lien rights and tenant protections. It requires storage facility owners to provide tenants with a specific written notice explaining lien procedures, including notification requirements before selling abandoned property. The bill sets a $20 or 20% monthly late fee cap (whichever is greater) as reasonable, prohibits higher fees without justification, and clarifies that tenants who don't sign agreements still accept terms if they use the facility for 30+ days. This directly affects both storage facility owners (who gain clearer lien enforcement) and tenants (who receive standardized notices about payment obligations and property rights).

MINOR
The bill text underwent significant formatting and structural reorganization, including the addition of a new page header and the reordering of legislative sections. While the substantive legal requirements regarding liens, late fees, and notice periods appear identical in the final version, the document now includes a new page break and altered section numbering that may affect how the law is cited or referenced in future legal proceedings.
TECHNICAL

The document structure was reorganized, adding a new page header and shifting the order of sections, though the actual legal text within those sections remains consistent.

Section numbering and internal paragraph breaks were altered, changing the visual layout of the statute without changing the underlying rules.
