Bill overview
This bill changes Michigan landlord-tenant law to allow tenants to receive a copy of their water and sewer bills. Tenants can request this, and landlords cannot interfere with or retaliate against them for making this request. Any new or updated lease agreements must include this provision, unless federal law regarding subsidized housing dictates otherwise. The bill aims to ensure tenants have access to their utility costs.
