Michigan Fair Chance Access to Housing Act establishes fair housing practices for rental applicants with criminal records.

The Michigan Fair Chance Access to Housing Act aims to ensure fair housing practices for individuals with criminal records seeking to rent in Michigan. The act prohibits landlords from evaluating rental applications based solely on criminal records unless required by federal or state law. Landlords must conduct an individualized assessment of applicants, considering factors such as the nature and severity of the offense, the applicant's age, and the time elapsed since the offense.
