Housing: landlord and tenants; cross-reference to the revised statutes of 1846; remove. Amends sec. 6 of 1978 PA 454 (MCL 554.636). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0900'24, SB 0901'24, SB 0902'24

SB 903 amends Michigan's Truth in Renting Act to clarify the legal remedies available to tenants when landlords violate specific rental agreement rules. The bill allows tenants to sue for damages, terminate their leases, or stop landlords from using illegal clauses if the landlord fails to fix the issue within 20 days of receiving written notice. It also provides for the recovery of court costs and attorney fees for tenants who win these cases, while establishing conditions under which a tenant can skip the initial notice step, such as when a violation has already been confirmed in court. This legislation is tied to three other bills and will not take effect until all of them are passed by the legislature.
