The bill amends the Truth in Renting Act by adding a new section, Sec. 4a, which mandates the creation of a form summarizing tenant rights and available legal resources. This form must be developed by the state court administrative office in consultation with the Michigan state housing development authority within 90 days of the bill's effective date. The form will include a summary of tenant rights under various housing laws and a list of legal resources for tenants who believe their rental agreements are in violation of these laws.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the summary of tenant rights must be presented in 12-point boldface type, with certain information regarding domestic violence and related issues highlighted in 14-point boldface type. The form must be made available in the state court administrative office and on its website. Furthermore, within 60 days of the form's creation, it must be attached as an addendum to lease agreements and posted in common areas of rental premises, which are defined to include accessible spaces such as hallways, laundry rooms, and community centers.
