Under Mich. Admin. Code R. 125.1704 (Rule 704), manufactured housing communities are required to give each resident, at the moment they move in, a written list of key emergency contact numbers. This list must include the local fire department, the local law enforcement agency, and the community office's phone number along with its regular business hours and an after-hours emergency contact. The rule also mandates that a community representative be reachable and able to respond to emergencies outside of normal business hours.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Rule 704 of the Michigan Manufactured Housing rules (R. 125.1704), compliant community operators prepare and distribute an emergency contact list to every incoming resident on or before the day they take occupancy. That list typically includes the local fire department number, the local law enforcement number, and the community office's main phone, business hours, and a dedicated after-hours emergency line. Operators also generally ensure that a designated representative is actually reachable and capable of responding to emergencies at all times, not merely listed on paper.

Rule 704 (Mich. Admin. Code R. 125.1704) gives residents of manufactured housing communities the right to receive an emergency contact list the moment they move in, covering fire, law enforcement, and community office contacts including after-hours access. If a community failed to provide this list or cannot produce an after-hours representative in an emergency, that may constitute a violation of the administrative code. Residents who believe this rule has not been followed can document the gap, contact the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
