Bill Summary
An act to prohibit landlords from requiring certain disclosures from certain applicants for rental units or taking adverse actions against certain applicants based on certain disclosures; to provide exceptions; to require the promulgation of rules; to provide remedies; to prescribe civil sanctions; and to provide for the powers and duties of certain state and local governmental officers and entities.
AI Summary
This bill creates the Michigan Fair Chance Access to Housing Act, which prohibits landlords from requiring certain disclosures from rental applicants or taking adverse actions against them based on their criminal records, with some exceptions. The bill requires landlords to issue a conditional offer if an applicant meets the application criteria, and then only allows landlords to consider certain recent felony convictions when deciding whether to withdraw the offer. The bill establishes a process for applicants to appeal a landlord's withdrawal of a conditional offer, and gives the Department of Attorney General the authority to investigate and enforce violations of the act. The bill also requires landlords to provide information to applicants about their rights under the act.
