Mich. Comp. Laws § § 125.402a
Enforcing agency; definition.
Operative Text
Sec. 2a. As used in this act: "Enforcing agency" means the designated officer or agency charged with responsibility for administration and enforcement of this act.
Michigan Compiled Laws § 125.402a establishes a foundational definition within the state's housing law framework: the term 'enforcing agency' refers to whichever officer or governmental body has been officially designated to administer and enforce the act. This definition sets the stage for how authority and responsibility are allocated throughout the statute. By anchoring enforcement to a designated entity, the law ensures that there is an identifiable party accountable for the act's implementation.

Under MCL § 125.402a, property owners and managers operating in Michigan should be aware that compliance obligations under this act are overseen by the locally or officially designated enforcing agency. Compliant operators typically identify which officer or body serves as the enforcing agency in their jurisdiction and direct any required communications, inspections, or filings accordingly. Knowing who holds enforcement authority helps operators respond appropriately to notices or inquiries under the act.

MCL § 125.402a defines the 'enforcing agency' as the designated officer or body responsible for administering and enforcing Michigan's housing act, which means there is an identifiable authority tenants can contact regarding potential violations. Tenants who believe the act has not been followed may look to this designated enforcing agency as a starting point for raising concerns or filing complaints. Local tenant-rights organizations can often help identify which specific agency or officer holds this role in a given area.
