Housing: landlord and tenants; limitations on fees charged to tenants; provide for. Amends secs. 2 & 3 of 1978 PA 454 (MCL 554.632 & 554.633).

HB 4994 limits fees landlords can charge tenants under Michigan's Truth in Renting Act. It directly affects renters and landlords by prohibiting undisclosed or unreasonable fees, including processing or convenience fees for utility payments provided by third parties. The bill requires all fees (other than rent) to be clearly disclosed, reasonable, and tied to actual costs the landlord incurred. Landlords may no longer charge tenants extra for paying utilities through public utilities or third-party services. This policy change aims to prevent unexpected charges while ensuring fee transparency in rental agreements.
