Bill Summary · HB 4997

Overview: HB 4997, Housing: landlord and tenants; form containing summary of tenant's rights; require the authority to make available to the public, bill electronically reproduced 09/18/2025, Introduced March 13, 2025

Purpose and Intent: The main purpose of this bill is to require the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) to create and make publicly available a standardized form that summarizes the key rights and responsibilities of tenants under state law. The intent is to improve transparency and ensure that tenants are better informed about their legal protections.

Key Provisions:
- Directs MSHDA to develop a standardized form that provides a summary of tenant rights
- Requires MSHDA to make this form freely available to the public, including posting it online
- Mandates that landlords provide this form to all new tenants at the start of a lease

Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Tenants will benefit from increased awareness of their legal rights and responsibilities
- Landlords will be required to distribute the standardized form, which may create some additional administrative burden

Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
- The bill has been electronically reproduced and is currently awaiting further action
- If passed, MSHDA would have 90 days to develop and publish the required tenant rights summary form
