Michigan HB4993 expands notice requirements for early lease termination for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.

Michigan HB4993 amends the landlord-tenant law to expand notice requirements for early lease termination for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. The bill allows tenants to terminate their lease early if they have a reasonable apprehension of present danger from these incidents. To do so, tenants must provide written notice to the landlord, including a statement of their apprehension and one of several forms of documentation. The bill defines "domestic violence," "sexual assault," and "stalking" and outlines the types of documentation that can be submitted.
