Mobile homes: owner's rights; requirement of written leases for mobile home park tenants; modify. Amends 1978 PA 454 (MCL 554.631 - 554.641) by adding sec. 4a. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0486'23, SB 0487'23, SB 0488'23, SB 0489'23
This bill modifies Michigan's mobile home park laws to require owners to offer tenants written leases with terms of at least one year, though monthly agreements remain allowed if the tenant declines a longer term. Landlords must provide a written notice at least 30 days before a lease expires to offer renewal, and any unexpired lease that is not renewed in writing automatically converts to a month-to-month tenancy. Additionally, the legislation mandates that shorter-term leases include a statement confirming that a one-year option was offered but declined, and it prohibits unlicensed park owners from collecting rent or holding tenants responsible for rent owed during periods when they are not licensed. These changes take effect only if several related companion bills are also passed into law.
