MI HB4988

Amends the Truth in Renting Act (1978 PA 454) to update language from "which" to "that," "shall" to "must," and "therefor" to "for the violation" throughout section 6

Removes an outdated provision stating that section 39(2) of chapter 66 of the Revised Statutes of 1846 (MCL 554.139) shall not be considered judicially construed as of the act's effective date

Maintains existing tenant remedies for rental agreement violations, including the ability to void agreements, seek injunctions, and recover damages of $250 or $500 (depending on violation type) or actual damages

Preserves the requirement that landlords have 20 days to cure violations after receiving written notice from tenants before tenants can bring legal action

Takes effect only if HB 4987 of the 103rd Legislature is also enacted into law (tie bar provision)
