Michigan SB0282 establishes tenants' rights to organize and form unions in multifamily rental premises.

Michigan SB0282, known as the "tenants right to organize act," grants tenants the right to organize and form unions in multifamily rental premises. Tenants can engage tenant organizers, who have the same rights of access as other uninvited parties if the premises allow canvassing. Tenant unions can distribute literature, place literature at tenants' doors, and post information on bulletin boards. Landlords are prohibited from interfering with tenants' rights, threatening or penalizing tenants for exercising their rights, or delaying investigations or enforcement of the act.
