The bill amends the existing law regarding housing facilities operated by local governments in Michigan. It establishes that a project management or local housing commission cannot terminate a tenancy or contract right to occupy housing without just cause. The bill specifies that just cause includes failure to comply with lease obligations, unlawful use of the unit, or maintenance of unsafe or unsanitary conditions.
Additionally, the bill updates legal references and clarifies the conditions under which a tenancy may be terminated. It replaces the previous language regarding termination with new provisions that emphasize the necessity of just cause, thereby providing greater protection for tenants in housing projects managed by local governments. The bill will take effect 90 days after being enacted, contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4985.
