HB-5030, As Passed House, September 14, 2005

HOUSE BILL No. 5030

June 30, 2005, Introduced by Rep. Steil and referred to the Committee on Local Government and Urban Policy.

     A bill to amend 1972 PA 348, entitled

"An act to regulate relationships between landlords and tenants

relative to rental agreements for rental units; to regulate the

payment, repayment, use and investment of security deposits; to

provide for commencement and termination inventories of rental

units; to provide for termination arrangements relative to rental

units; to provide for legal remedies; and to provide penalties,"

by amending section 11 (MCL 554.611).

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

     Sec. 11. The tenant shall notify the landlord in writing at

the address given under section  4  3 within 4 days after

termination of his or her occupancy of an address at which

communications pursuant to this act may be received. Failure to

comply with this requirement relieves the landlord of the

requirement of notice of damages but does not prejudice a tenant's

subsequent claim for the security deposit.
