Bill overview
The Michigan Fair Chance Access to Housing Act prohibits landlords from requiring applicants to disclose their criminal records during the rental application process, with limited exceptions. Landlords must issue a conditional offer if an applicant meets all application criteria, and can only consider criminal records involving serious offenses like arson or human trafficking. Applicants have the right to challenge inaccurate information and receive a copy of the documents used to make decisions. The act aims to reduce barriers to housing for individuals with criminal records while maintaining safety standards.
