Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill, called the "Michigan fair chance access to housing act," would prevent landlords from asking about an applicant's criminal record until after they offer them a rental unit. Landlords could only consider certain serious or recent felony convictions and must conduct an individualized assessment before denying an applicant based on their criminal record. The bill aims to give people with criminal records a fairer chance at renting a home and provides remedies for violations.
