Mich. Admin. Code R. § R 125.2001a
Inspections; inspection standards.
Operative Text
Rule 1001a. Before a home is offered for sale or placement of a "For Sale" sign, a home shall be inspected if required by the community rules. The inspection shall be in compliance with the act and shall be valid for 1 year. The inspection standards shall be stated in the community rules and met by a majority of the homes in the community. History: 2003 AACS; 2008 AACS.
Under Mich. Admin. Code R. 125.2001a, a manufactured home must be inspected before it is listed for sale or a 'For Sale' sign is posted, but only when the community's own rules require such an inspection. Any required inspection must conform to the applicable act and remains valid for one year from the date it is conducted. The standards used for the inspection are set by the community rules and must be standards that a majority of homes in that community already meet.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Community operators and home sellers subject to Mich. Admin. Code R. 125.2001a should review their community rules to determine whether a pre-sale inspection is mandatory before any home is listed or a 'For Sale' sign is displayed. Compliant operators ensure that the inspection standards written into community rules reflect benchmarks that the majority of homes in the community can satisfy, and they verify that any inspection on file is no older than one year at the time of sale. Keeping clear records of inspection dates and the applicable community rules helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.

Prospective buyers or current residents in a manufactured housing community should be aware that under Mich. Admin. Code R. 125.2001a, a home being sold may be subject to a pre-sale inspection if the community rules require one, and that inspection must be no more than one year old. If a home is offered for sale without a required inspection, or with an expired one, residents and buyers may have grounds to raise that non-compliance through the community's dispute process or by contacting the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, which oversees manufactured housing rules. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Michigan manufactured housing law can help clarify what options are available when community rules appear not to have been followed.
