Michigan Compiled Laws — Act 226 of 1988: Leasing of Private Residential Property (Rent-Control Preemption)

MCL §123.411 (1 section, Act 226 of 1988): Michigan's statewide preemption of local rent control — "(2) A local government shall not enact, maintain, or enforce an ordinance, regulation, or resolution that would have the effect of controlling the amount of rent charged for leasing private residential property." Subsection (4) carves out voluntary incentive programs. This is the provision-work row for the preemption table entry covering all Michigan city rental ordinances; §123.411(2) triggers a preemption review for any local rule that could be read as controlling rent (see add-state-status item 6 and city supplement §0 re: Benton Harbor §20-151).
