Bill > HB4009

This bill proposes to repeal the 1988 Public Act 226 (PA 226), which previously limited local governments' powers regarding the leasing of private residential property. By repealing this law, the bill would restore local governments' ability to establish rent control policies in their jurisdictions. The bill has two key provisions: first, it completely eliminates the existing 1988 law that restricted local rent regulation, and second, it specifies that the repeal will take effect 90 days after the bill is enacted into law. This change would potentially allow Michigan municipalities more flexibility in addressing affordable housing challenges by enabling them to implement local rent control measures that were previously prohibited under the 1988 law.
