Housing: landlord and tenants; definition of residential premises; modify. Amends sec. 2 of 1978 PA 454 (MCL 554.632).

This bill proposes to update the definitions of "rental agreement" and "residential premises" within Michigan's Truth in Renting Act. It clarifies that a rental agreement is a written contract covering terms like identity, location, duration, and payment details, while explicitly excluding simple lists of these facts. The definition of residential premises is expanded to include various living spaces such as apartments and boardinghouses but specifically excludes hotels, motels, and owner-occupied homes rented only occasionally. These changes aim to provide clearer legal boundaries for what constitutes a covered rental situation under the state's tenant protection laws.
