Labor: collective bargaining; tenants right to organize; provide for. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0901'24, SB 0902'24, SB 0903'24

This bill establishes the Tenants Right to Organize Act in Michigan, granting residential tenants the legal right to form tenant unions and engage in collective activities. It defines specific rules for how these unions can operate, including distributing literature, holding meetings, and collecting dues, while also outlining conditions under which tenant organizers may visit rental properties. The legislation prohibits landlords from retaliating against tenants or interfering with union activities, such as by delaying maintenance or revoking access to amenities, and provides for civil fines and attorney fees as penalties for violations. Importantly, the bill does not take effect until three companion bills are also passed, indicating it is part of a broader legislative package.
