Housing: landlord and tenants; notice requirements for early lease termination for certain victims of violence; expand. Amends sec. 1b of 1972 PA 348 (MCL 554.601b).

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill amends an existing act to allow tenants in Michigan to be released from their rental agreements if they or their child face a reasonable threat of danger from domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. To do so, tenants must provide written notice and documentation, such as a personal protection order or a police report, to their landlord. The tenant's obligation to pay rent ends no later than the fifteenth day after giving notice, provided they vacate the premises, but prepaid amounts like security deposits may still be withheld by the landlord.
