Bill overview
The Michigan Fair Chance Access to Housing Act aims to prevent landlords from using an applicant’s criminal record to deny them housing. It prohibits landlords from requiring disclosures about criminal history and limits their ability to consider criminal records when making rental decisions. The act establishes procedures for landlords to consider mitigating factors and provides applicants with the opportunity to correct inaccuracies in their records. Landlords are also required to inform applicants about their screening process and provide a copy of the documents used to make decisions.
