Advocacy Update
WRITTEN BY FORREST WALL, CAE, STAFF VICE PRESIDENT
AND INDUSTRY RELATIONS
Uniform Landlord and Tenant Legislation Drafted
T
he Michigan Legislative Service Bureau has
recently completed a draft of potential legislation
which would affect landlord-tenant law in
Michigan. In 2015 the Uniform Law Commission (ULC)
released a revised version of the Uniform Residential
Landlord and Tenant Act (URLTA) for proposed adoption
by every state in the U.S. The ULC is an organization
made up of practicing lawyers, judges, legislators and
law professors, all of whom are appointed by state governments. ULC seeks
to draft model legislation for certain areas of critical state law in an effort
to create uniformity and save states from the cost of preparing legislation
themselves. The revised version of URLTA updates the original version
released in 1972. Michigan is not considered a uniform landlord-tenant law
state but utilized parts of the 1972 model legislation as a basis for state
laws affecting landlord and tenant relationships. AAM will be forming a work
group in the months to come to compare current Michigan law to the draft
legislation and outline comments/concerns.
Election Season Is Here!
Wait … isn’t it still summer? Sorry folks, we are now in that dreaded of
all seasons – election. The primaries are decided this month, and then get
ready for the three month general election slog ending on November 6. Here
in Michigan, all key leadership posts (Governor, Attorney General, Secretary
of State) and legislative offices are up for grabs. To better quantify how
important this election is for our state, consider that out of our 38 state senate
