Bill > HB5920

This bill amends the 1972 Michigan law that regulates the relationship between landlords and tenants. It prohibits landlords from requiring prospective tenants to disclose certain juvenile records, including convictions that have been set aside, findings of juvenile delinquency, participation in diversion programs, assignment of youthful trainee status, and judgments or dispositions from other states that would have been criminal offenses if committed by an adult. The purpose of this bill is to prevent landlords from discriminating against applicants based on their juvenile records, which can create barriers to housing.
