MI HB4513

Amends section 44 of the 1933 Public Housing Act to reorganize and clarify duties of housing commissions in operating housing projects.

Requires housing commissions to rent dwelling accommodations only to persons of low income at affordable rates and to limit unit sizes to prevent overcrowding.

Prohibits acceptance of tenants whose aggregate annual net income exceeds the maximum allowed by federal law in any contract for financial assistance, and prohibits tenant subletting.

Adds new requirement for commissions to adopt a policy offering current disabled tenants (as defined in the Michigan Vehicle Code, excluding blind persons) a right of first refusal to relocate to available lower-floor dwelling accommodations.

Clarifies that these requirements do not limit a borrower's ability to vest an obligee or trustee with receivership rights in the event of default.
