Bill overview
This bill modifies Michigan’s housing law to give tenants the option to escrow rent payments when a landlord fails to provide a certificate of compliance for unsafe or unhealthy living conditions. If a certificate is withheld or suspended, tenants can deposit their rent into an escrow account until the issues are resolved. This action prevents landlords from pursuing rent collection or eviction proceedings during this period, provided the tenant pays the escrowed funds.
