This bill amends the existing landlord-tenant regulations in Michigan by adding a new section that mandates the installation of operational carbon monoxide devices in rental units. Specifically, landlords are required to install at least one carbon monoxide device in any rental unit that contains a fuel-fired appliance or is adjacent to an enclosed garage.

Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for landlords who fail to comply with this requirement, classifying such violations as state civil infractions subject to a civil fine of up to $500. The bill also defines key terms, including "carbon monoxide device" and "operational," to ensure clarity in enforcement and compliance.
