Housing: landlord and tenants; prohibition against tenants forming a union; disallow in truth in renting act. Amends secs. 3 & 4 of 1978 PA 454 (MCL 554.633 & 554.634). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0900'24, SB 0902'24, SB 0903'24
This bill prohibits landlords from including specific clauses in rental agreements, such as those that waive tenant rights, limit legal remedies, or prevent tenants from forming a union. It directly affects both landlords and tenants by banning provisions that would allow a landlord to alter agreement terms without written consent, accelerate rent payments unfairly, or require a tenant to give up their right to a jury trial. The legislation also mandates that all rental agreements include a prominent notice informing tenants of their legal rights and outlines specific timelines for landlords to provide written notice of lease renewals and rent increases. By invalidating any clause that violates these new restrictions, the bill aims to ensure that rental contracts comply with existing state laws and protect the procedural rights of both parties.
