SB 883 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Housing: landlord and tenants; reuse of certain tenant screening reports; allow. Amends title & sec. 1 of 1972 PA 348 (MCL 554.601) & adds secs. 1c, 1d, 1e & 1f.

This bill allows landlords in Michigan to accept "reusable screening reports" provided by prospective tenants, which are consumer reports prepared within the last 45 days at the tenant's expense. If a landlord chooses to use such a report, they are prohibited from charging the applicant a separate rental application fee. Conversely, if a landlord does not accept these reusable reports, they may charge a fee of up to $25 to cover the cost of obtaining their own consumer report. The legislation also requires landlords to clearly state in their rental advertisements whether they accept reusable screening reports and mandates written disclosure to applicants about the information used for screening and the criteria for denial.
