Michigan Lead-Based Paint Disclosure

This Lead-Based Paint Disclosure is built with Michigan as the governing state. These are the Michigan landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Landlord entry & access

Michigan has no statute setting a notice period for landlord entry, so the lease controls. Separately, a landlord who unlawfully interferes with the tenant’s possession — for example by changing the locks or cutting off utilities — is liable for actual damages or $200, whichever is greater, for each occurrence (MCL 600.2918). A written entry clause with reasonable notice (24 hours is common practice) and an emergency exception protects both sides.

Required notices in a Michigan lease

  • Truth in Renting notice — Every lease must state prominently: “NOTICE: Michigan law establishes rights and obligations for parties to rental agreements. This agreement is required to comply with the Truth in Renting Act…” and give the landlord’s address for notices (MCL 554.634).
  • Domestic violence notice — The lease should state that a tenant with a reasonable apprehension of present danger to the tenant or the tenant’s child from domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking may have special statutory rights to seek a release of rental obligation under MCL 554.601b. If it doesn’t, the landlord must post or hand over that notice at signing (MCL 554.601b).
  • Senior early-termination right — The 60-day release for tenants of 13+ months entering senior housing or unable to live independently (MCL 554.601a).
  • Deposit notices — The 14-day deposit-holder notice with the bolded forwarding-address warning, and the move-in inventory checklists (MCL 554.603, 554.608).
  • Lead-based paint — Federal lead warning and known-hazard disclosure for housing built before 1978 (42 U.S.C. §4852d).
