Housing: landlord and tenants; notification of defective conditions on premises and time limits for landlords to commence repairs; provide. Amends sec. 39 of 1846 RS 66 (MCL 554.139).

This bill updates Michigan's landlord-tenant laws to establish specific deadlines for landlords to begin repairs after receiving written notice of defective conditions. It requires landlords to start fixing life-threatening or health-hazardous issues, such as lack of heat, water, electricity, or mold, within 24 hours, while allowing seven days for appliance repairs and ten days for other problems. The legislation also clarifies that landlords must keep rental properties in reasonable repair and comply with health and safety laws, except when damage is caused by the tenant's intentional or irresponsible actions. Tenants can deliver these notices via email, personal delivery, electronic portals, or text messages, provided the method ensures the landlord actually receives the information.
