MI SB1145

Requires landlords in multifamily dwellings with 4+ units and at least one elevator to provide reasonable accommodations to tenants when less than 50% of elevators are non-functional for more than 24 hours and may result in life-threatening consequences.

Defines reasonable accommodations to include notifying tenants of resources like 2-1-1 telephone number, engaging volunteer groups for assistance, increasing on-site staff time, paying for hotel rooms for tenants with ongoing medical needs, or temporarily relocating affected tenants to ground floor units or other properties.

Requires landlords to prepare and submit a written plan within 6 months of the act's effective date to the Michigan State Housing Development Authority detailing specific accommodations, how they will be provided, and contact information for the responsible party.

Imposes civil fines on landlords failing to submit a written plan within the required timeframe: up to $500 for buildings with 4 or fewer floors and up to $1,000 for buildings with 5 or more floors, with fines increasing 10% every 30 days until compliance.

Becomes effective only if Senate Bill No. 1144 of the 101st Legislature is enacted into law.
