Housing: landlord and tenants; cross-reference to the revised statutes of 1846; remove. Amends sec. 6 of 1978 PA 454 (MCL 554.636).

This bill amends Michigan's Truth in Renting Act to clarify the legal remedies available to tenants when landlords violate specific rental agreement rules. It allows tenants to sue for terminating their lease, stopping future violations, or recovering damages of $250 to $500 if a landlord fails to fix a problem within 20 days after receiving written notice. The law also permits immediate legal action without prior notice if a landlord has previously been found guilty of the same violation or knowingly ignored the rule. Additionally, the bill ensures that winning tenants can recover court costs and attorney fees while preventing landlords from facing multiple penalties for the same specific clause in their contracts.
