HB 5767 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Housing: landlord and tenants; notice requirements for early lease termination for certain victims of violence; expand. Amends sec. 1b of 1972 PA 348 (MCL 554.601b).

This bill expands protections for tenants in Michigan who are victims of violence by allowing them to terminate their rental leases early without penalty under specific circumstances. It modifies existing state laws to require landlords to accept such early lease terminations and to return security deposits promptly when these victims exercise their right to leave. The legislation directly affects landlords and tenants by clarifying the notice requirements and procedures needed to end a lease agreement early due to violence.
