Housing: landlord and tenants; methods of communication between landlords and tenants; update. Amends secs. 3, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13 of 1972 PA 348 (MCL 554.603 et seq.).

This bill updates Michigan's landlord-tenant laws to modernize how landlords and tenants communicate regarding security deposits and property damage. It requires landlords to provide contact information for sending notices via email, text messages, or other digital methods, while also mandating that tenants notify landlords of their forwarding addresses within four days of moving out. The legislation establishes specific timelines for landlords to send itemized damage claims and for tenants to respond, allowing these communications to occur through various channels including text messages and email. If a landlord fails to send a damage notice within the required timeframe, the bill treats this as an agreement that no damages are owed, requiring the full security deposit to be returned immediately.
