HB 4996 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Housing: landlord and tenants; form containing summary of tenant's rights; require the department to make available to the public. Amends sec. 57i of 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.57i).

HB 4996 requires Michigan's department to make publicly available a specific form summarizing tenant rights, as mandated by the Truth in Renting Act (1978 PA 454, MCL 554.643a). The bill directs the department to provide physical copies at its office and post the form online within 60 days of the form's creation by the state court administrative office. This affects landlords participating in the state's rent vending program and tenants who receive the form, ensuring they have clear access to their rights. The key provision is the mandated public availability of the tenant rights summary, not new restrictions on landlords or eviction protections.
