Mich. Admin. Code R. § R 125.1192
Posting of complaint notice.
Operative Text
Rule 192. A licensee shall post, in a conspicuous place, the following statement for resolving complaints: "Under the Mobile Home Commission Act you have the right to file a complaint that pertains to violations of that act or rules published under the act. Before a complaint can be filed under the act or rules, you must notify the manufactured home manufacturer, community, retailer, or installer and servicer in writing that a problem exists. If a reasonable response is not received within 10 business days of receipt of your complaint, you may file a complaint with the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth, Bureau of Construction Codes, Office of Local Government and Consumer Services, P.O. Box 30254, Lansing, Michigan 48909. Please note that only complaints about violations of the mobile home commission act or rules can be accepted by the Department. Examples of complaints may regard any of the following: 1. Purchase of manufactured homes, goods, or services and applicable warranties. 2. Lease or rental agreements. 3. Manufactured home communities. 4. Metering of utilities. 5. Manufactured home installation and service. Complaints pertaining to manufactured home community rent costs do not fall under the authority of the act." History: 1980 AACS; 1991 AACS; 1998 AACS; 2003 AACS; 2008 MR 11, Eff. Sept. 2, 2008.
Rule 192 of Mich. Admin. Code R. 125.1192 requires that licensed manufactured housing operators post a specific consumer-notice statement in a visible location on their premises. The notice informs residents of their right to file complaints about violations of the Mobile Home Commission Act or its rules with the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth, but only after first notifying the relevant party in writing and waiting 10 business days for a response. The notice also clarifies that complaints about manufactured home community rent costs fall outside the Department's authority under the Act.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under R. 125.1192, a compliant licensee posts the required complaint-notice statement in a conspicuous location accessible to residents, ensuring the full text—including the mailing address for the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth and the list of covered complaint categories—is legible and current. Operators generally verify that the posting remains visible and undamaged as part of routine property maintenance. Because the notice specifies that rent-cost complaints are outside the Act's scope, operators should be aware of that boundary when residents raise concerns.

R. 125.1192 entitles residents of licensed manufactured housing communities to see a posted notice explaining how to pursue complaints under the Mobile Home Commission Act, covering areas such as purchase agreements, lease terms, utility metering, and installation issues. If a resident believes a violation has occurred, the process described in the notice requires written notification to the relevant party first, followed by a 10-business-day waiting period before a complaint may be filed with the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth. Residents should be aware that complaints about community rent costs are explicitly excluded from the Department's authority under this provision; tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help identify other avenues for rent-related concerns.
