Abstract
(HB6088 · 103rd Legislature) Labor: collective bargaining; tenants right to organize; provide for. Creates new act. Latest action (2026-06-17): Bill Electronically Reproduced 06/16/2026
Why this matters
HB6088 would be a first-in-class Michigan statute combining tenant rights with collective bargaining frameworks traditionally reserved for labor-employer relations. If enacted, it would materially change how landlords must interact with organized groups of tenants and create new legal obligations distinct from existing landlord-tenant fee, deposit, and habitability rules. It fits within a broader 2026 legislative push to expand tenant protections in Michigan.
