Abstract
(SB0373 · 103rd Legislature) Housing: landlord and tenants; limitations on fees charged to tenants; provide for. Amends sec. 3 of 1978 PA 454 (MCL 554.633). Latest action (2026-07-03): Referred To Committee On Regulatory Reform
Why this matters
For tenants, tightened statutory fee limits would cap or prohibit certain landlord charges beyond rent and security deposits, potentially reducing housing costs. For landlords, the amendment would constrain revenue sources and require lease and billing changes to comply with the Truth in Renting Act. The measure has advanced past one chamber, signaling active legislative movement on tenant fee protections.
