AI Summary

This bill requires the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) to make available a specific form that summarizes tenants' rights within 60 days after the state court administrative office creates such a form. The form in question is referenced from the Truth in Renting Act (1978 PA 454), and MSHDA must have physical copies of this form in its office and also make the form easily accessible on its website. The bill includes a tie bar provision, meaning it will only take effect if a companion House Bill (H02179'25) is also enacted into law. By mandating public accessibility of this tenant rights summary form, the legislation aims to improve tenant awareness of their legal protections and rights in housing situations, potentially helping to prevent misunderstandings or disputes between landlords and tenants.
