MI HB5199

Amends Michigan's landlord-tenant law to establish responsibilities for bedbug infestation prevention and management in rental units

Requires landlords to inspect rental units within 5 days of tenant notice of suspected bedbug infestation and contact a licensed pest management professional within 7 days if infestation is confirmed

Prohibits landlords from renting units known or suspected to be infested and requires disclosure to prospective tenants whether the unit or adjoining units have been treated for bedbugs within the past 180 days

Requires tenants to promptly notify landlords of suspected infestations, grant access for inspections and treatments with 24 hours' notice, and perform reasonable preparation measures as directed by pest management professionals

Establishes liability for landlord violations at $250 or actual damages (whichever is greater) plus attorney fees, allows municipalities to establish civil infractions with fines up to $100 per day, and permits landlords to pursue court action against tenants who fail to comply with preparation measures
