AI Summary
This bill amends Michigan's landlord-tenant law to require landlords to install at least one operational carbon monoxide (CO) device in rental units that have fuel-fired appliances (such as gas stoves, oil heaters, wood stoves) or are adjacent to an enclosed garage. The bill defines a carbon monoxide device as a detector that provides a distinct audible alert and is certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory. Landlords who fail to comply with this requirement can be cited for a state civil infraction and potentially fined up to $500. The bill aims to enhance tenant safety by ensuring early detection of potentially deadly carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, colorless gas produced by burning carbon-based fuels. The term "operational" means the device must be in working condition and actively serving its protective function. This legislation adds a new layer of safety requirements for rental property owners, prioritizing the protection of tenants from carbon monoxide poisoning.
