Housing: landlord and tenants; prohibition against tenants right to repair; disallow in truth and renting act. Amends secs. 3 & 4 of 1978 PA 454 (MCL 554.633 & 554.634). TIE BAR WITH: SB 19'25, SB 20'25

SB 21 amends Michigan's Truth in Renting Act to prohibit rental agreements from including clauses that waive tenants' legal right to repair and deduct costs for uninhabitable conditions (e.g., lack of heat or plumbing) from rent. It directly affects tenants and landlords by ensuring tenants can legally withhold rent or make repairs themselves if landlords fail to maintain habitable premises. The bill specifically adds Section 3(1)(o) to ban such waivers and requires landlords to include a clear notice about tenant rights in rental agreements (Section 4(1)(b)). These changes strengthen tenant protections under existing housing law without altering other rental terms.
