PRIORITY BILLS REQUESTED BY PMAM
A. LICENSING. We are waiting to hear back from our potential sponsors. Summary: This bill would
remove the required licensing of leasing agents and remove the 50-mi radius requirement for real estate
brokers.
B. SERVICE OF PROCESS. There have been no changes to this status. Summary: This bill would
provide that service of process to recover money could be done by tacking to the property. Additionally,
it provides that rent should not be prorated and that all summary proceedings from the same property
should be heard on the same day at the same time in the same court.
C. BEDBUGS. SB 294, HB 4520. We were scheduled to meet with the House sponsor and the Judiciary
Vice Chair; however the meeting was cancelled. We have been told that the meeting would be
rescheduled sometime in September. Summary: This bill provides the responsibilities of the landlord and
the tenant in a bedbug situation.
D. MEDICAL MARIHUANA. Senate Bill 72 This bill remains on the House Floor and will likely remain
on the same timetable as medibles and ingestibles. We have learned that marihuana bills in judiciary
committee would likely be voted out in September. Additionally, with the recent ruling about marijuana
being used for autism, there is now a movement by Sen. Mike Shirkey to push for passage of medibles.
II.
BILLS OF INTEREST
A. WAIVE JURY TRIAL IN RESIDENTIAL LEASES. HB 4035 Property; commercial leases;
provision in lease to waive right to a jury trial; allow. Amends sec. 3 of 1978 PA 454 (MCL
554.633). PMAM supports.
B. LICENSURE FOR RE BROKERS AND SALESPERSONS. SB 26. Amends secs. 105, 2501,
2502a, 2503, 2504, 2504a, 2505, 2506, 2509, 2510, 2512 & 2512d of 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.105 et
KELLEY CAWTHORNE
seq.) & adds secs. 2502b, 2512e, 2512f, 2516 & 2516a. I was told by Kowall's office that they are
apparently waiting on an opinion from the Attorney General before they can move forward with any
work on the bill.
C. LLC ACTING AS OWN REPRESENTATION. We were approached to weigh in on this bill. This
would allow LLCs to represent themselves in small claims court and not require a lawyer. (Please see
attached) PMAM supports.
D. LEAD PAINT LEGISLATION. (HB 4062 and 4063) We’ve been approached to offer our opinion
on a package of bills dealing with lead paint.). PMAM opposed. We had a brief conversation with
the chair of the judiciary committee and expressed that we would like to see this bill remain in
committee and not have a hearing anytime soon.
E. MODIFICATION OF DRUG FORFEITURE. (HB 4361) This bill was introduced by Rep. Jeff
Irwin from the Washtenaw Area. This bill would allow for seizure of property for a drug offense, but
would prohibit forfeiture of the property unless a person is convicted of the alleged drug crime or if the
person does not claim any interest in the property. This bill is a part of a larger package of bills dealing
with police practices with drug forfeiture items.
F. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. (SB 255/HB 4411) Senate Judiciary held a committee on SB 255. The bill
would add domestic violence victims as a protected class. This would provide that they could not be
discriminated against in housing situations. Numerous groups were opposed to the bill. The sponsor
agreed to listen to the concerns and work with the groups.
G. SHUTOFFS. (HB 4393) This bill was introduced due to a resident in the legislator’s district receiving
numerous shut-off notices, but no alerting the landlord. This caused massive amounts of damage
throughout the winter.
H. RENT CONTROL. This bill has not been introduced at this point, but we were approached by Rep.
Banks about this proposed idea. The information was sent to legislative members last month, but is also
attached. Currently, there is no action on this bill.
III.
Miscellaneous Items
A. Legislature – As you’ll notice, not much action has occurred on these bills because the legislature is away
for the summer. We expect that things should pick back up mid-August.
B. Upcoming Fundraisers – Please see the attached list of upcoming legislative fundraisers. If some are
happening in your region and they were endorsed PMAM candidates, it may be wise to contribute and
attend.
C. Congressional Black Caucus Michigan Event- This event is held annually during the Congressional
Black Caucus Conference and is specifically for the Michigan Delegation. Both Congressman John Conyers
and Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence are going to be honored this year. It is my recommendation that
both PMAM and NAA join forces to be a sponsor for the event. Please see the attached information.
D. PMAM Lobby Day 2016
Rent Control Legislation
 Proposed Version
o
o
o
Applies only to cities with a population of over 500,000 people
Limits to rent increases
 Limit increases in rent to once per calendar year
 Increase is limited to the percentage change from year to year in the Consumer
Price Index for the Midwest region for prices of goods and services as reported by
The United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, averaged over
the 12-month period that ends at the end of May of the previous calendar year,
rounded to the first decimal point
 The rent is capped from increasing more than 2.5% percent per calendar year,
regardless of increase to CPI
 This applies to properties currently rented, leased etc., vacant properties and
commercial properties
Exceptions to the rent increases
 A landlord can increase the rent above the CPI guidelines listed above when the
following apply. These increases are not automatic they must petition the
Michigan State Housing Development Authority for approval.
 Capital improvements
 A landlord can petition to raise rents by an amount enough to cover the
cost of capital improvements
 A capital improvement is an improvement or renovation other than
ordinary repair, repair or maintenance if the improvement or renovation is
deemed depreciable under the Internal Revenue Code.
 Services and facilities
 The Act allows an adjustment in rents when related services or facilities
supplied by a landlord or for any rental unit in the rental property are
increased or decreased.
 based on:
o The cost to the tenant of buying alternate related services or
facilities comparable;
o The operating cost to the landlord of the related services or
facilities; or
o The fair market value of comparable related services or facilities.
 Substantial rehabilitation
 The landlord may submit a petition to raise rents for a substantial
rehabilitation of the rental property. A substantial rehabilitation petition
is filed only when proposed rehabilitation cost equals or is more than 50%
of the real property tax assessment of the rental property.
 Michigan
o
Rent control is currently prohibited by MCL Sec. 123.411
o
123.411 “Local governmental unit” defined; rent control prohibited; management and
control of residential property.
 As used in this section, “local governmental unit” means a political subdivision of
this state including, but not limited to, a county, city, village, or township, if the
political subdivision provides local government services for residents in a
geographically limited area of this state as its primary purpose and has the power to
act primarily on behalf of that area.
 A local governmental unit shall not enact, maintain, or enforce an ordinance or
resolution that would have the effect of controlling the amount of rent charged for
leasing private residential property. This section does not impair the right of any
local governmental unit to manage and control residential property in which the
local governmental unit has a property interest.
 New York
o
o
o
Rent Act 0f 2011
 Enacted by State Legislature
 Deal reached to extend for another four years on June 23rd
 Limits vacancy increases to once a year
 Reduced the permanent rent increase in buildings of 35 units or more for individual
apartment improvements to 1/60th instead of 1/40th of the cost
 Increased the minimum rent for deregulation of an apartment to $2,700
 That threshold would rise in the future based on increases in regulated
rents approved by the Rent Guidelines Board.
 Increased the household income to $200,000 for deregulating an occupied
apartment whose rent is at least $2,700
In New York City, rent control operates under the Maximum Base Rent (MBR) system. A
maximum base rent is established for each apartment and adjusted every two years to
reflect changes in operating costs. Owners who certify that they are providing essential
services and have removed violations, are entitled to raise rents up to 7.5 percent each year
until they reach the MBR. Tenants may challenge the proposed increase on the grounds that
the building has violations or that the owner's expenses do not warrant an increase.
For New York City rent controlled apartments, rents can also be increased because of
increases in fuel costs (passalongs) and in some cases, to cover higher labor costs.
 Ontario, Canada
o
Residential Tenancies Act of 2006
 Among other provisions containing duties of landlords/tenants, etc. it contains
provisions regulating rent
 A landlord may not increase the rent charged to a tenant, or to an assignee, during
the term of their tenancy by more than the guideline. The guideline is determined
by:
 “The guideline for a calendar year is the percentage change from year to
year in the Consumer Price Index for Ontario for prices of goods and
services as reported monthly by Statistics Canada, averaged over the 12month period that ends at the end of May of the previous calendar year,
rounded to the first decimal point.”

The guideline is capped from increasing more than 2.5% per calendar year.
 Los Angeles
o
o
o
California law requires that tenants be provided with written advance notice of a rent
increase either 30 days (for increases 10% or less) or 60 days (for increases greater than
10%) before the effective date of the increase.
The Los Angeles Housing & Community Investment Department decides annual allowable
rent adjustment
 For the fiscal year from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 is 3%
Rent Stabilization Ordinance
 The purpose of the ordinance is to protect tenants from excessive rent increases,
while at the same time allowing landlords a reasonable return on their investments.
 Residential units covered: apartments, condominiums, town homes, duplexes, two
more dwelling units on the same lot, mobile homes, mobile home pads, rooms in a
hotel, motel, rooming house or boarding house occupied by the same tenant for 30
or more consecutive days.
 The Rent Stabilization Ordinance covers four broad categories:
 Allowable rent increases
 Registration of rental units
 Legal reasons for eviction
 Causes for eviction requiring relocation assistance payments to the tenant
 Oakland
o
o
o
o
o
Oakland City Council adopted the Residential Rent Adjustment Program
The Rent Adjustment Program requires that property owners give a form notice to tenants
at the beginning of the tenancy of their rights under the program.
California law requires that tenants be provided with written advance notice of a rent
increase either 30 days (for increases 10% or less) or 60 days (for increases greater than
10%) before the effective date of the increase.
An owner may increase a tenant's rent once in a 12-month period. The basic rate for rent
increases is set by a formula tied to consumer price index.
 Maximum of 10% annual limit on all rent increases, unless CPI is above 10%.
 Maximum of 30% on rent increases within a 5-year period. Rent increases above
30% within a 5-year period allowed if only CPI increases were given during the 5year period.
 Maximum 70% of capital improvements costs can be passed through to tenants.
Property owners may give tenants notice of a rent increase higher than the CPI Rent
Adjustment. If tenants do not file a petition challenging the rent increase within 60 days of
receiving the notice of increase (or within 60 days of first receiving written notice of the
existence of the Rent Adjustment Program, whichever is later) they waive their right to
challenge the increase.
 Washington, D.C.
o
The rent control law is the Rental Housing Act of 1985
 Under the Act, an apartment building or apartment complex is called a housing
accommodation, and a single apartment or house is called a rental unit.







A renter is simply called the tenant, but the landlord is called the housing provider.
Act is administered by The Rental Accommodations Division
Owners of housing units covered by rent control are restricted in the frequency and
amount by which they can adjust monthly rents.
The law also requires landlords to give tenants adequate notification of rent
increases and provides for an appeals process for tenants who believe that rents
have been raised improperly.
Title II of the Act is rent stabilization, which applies to any non-exempt rental unit.
 All rental units must be registered with the RAD either as subject to rent
control or exempt from rent control
 For any unit that is not registered with RAD, rent control automatically
applies.
 common exemptions from rent control are for rental units that are:
o Federally or District-subsidized
o Built after 1975
o Owned by a natural person (i.e., not a corporation) who owns no
more than four rental units in the District
o Vacant when the Act took effect
Under the Act, any increase in rent must meet these conditions:
 The new rent charged may not be more than the prior rent plus an
allowable increase,
o The most common allowable increase in rent is an annual
adjustment, based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI).
o For most tenants, the most that their rent can increase is the CPI
percentage plus 2%, but not more than 10%.
o For tenants who are elderly or disabled, the maximum increase in
rent charged is the CPI percentage only, but not more than 5%.
 The increase in rent charged cannot be more than the increase allowed
under any single section of the Act.
 The last increase in rent must have been at least 12 months ago (unless the
unit is vacant).
 The increase must not violate the terms of the lease.
 The housing accommodation must be properly registered with the RAD.
 The rental unit and the housing accommodation’s common elements must
be in substantial compliance with housing regulations.
 The housing provider must give a 30-day notice of any increase in rent.
Increases in a vacant property
 The only exception to the limit of one rent increase per year is when a rental
unit becomes vacant.
 The housing provider can raise the rent charged upon a vacancy to:
o 10% more than was charged to the former tenant, or
o Rent for a comparable rental unit, but not more than 30%.


Comparable rental units have essentially the same square
footage and floor plan;
 comparable amenities and equipment;
 comparable locations with respect to exposure and height
(if exposure and height have previously been factors in the
amount of rent charged); and
 Comparable physical condition.
o Once there has been a vacancy increase in rent, the housing
provider cannot make another increase in rent for 12 months, even
if another vacancy occurs.
Other Allowable Rent Increases. The other allowable increases are not automatic.
The housing provider must petition or otherwise seek the consent of the Rent
Administrator.
 Hardship
o Housing providers are allowed to raise rents enough to earn a 12%
rate of return on the housing provider’s rental property investment.
o To apply for this increase, the housing provider must document
operating expenses for 12 of the last 15 months preceding the filing
of the hardship petition.
 Capital improvements
o A housing provider can petition to raise rents by an amount enough
to cover the cost of capital improvements
o A capital improvement is an improvement or renovation other than
ordinary repair, repair or maintenance if the improvement or
renovation is deemed depreciable under the Internal Revenue
Code.
 Services and facilities
o The Act allows an adjustment in rents when related services or
facilities supplied by a housing provider or a housing
accommodation or for any rental unit in the housing
accommodation are increased or decreased.
o based on:
 The cost to the tenant of buying alternate related services
or facilities comparable;
 The operating cost to the housing provider of the related
services or facilities; or
 The fair market value of comparable related services or
facilities.
 Substantial rehabilitation, or
o The housing provider may submit a petition to raise rents for a
substantial rehabilitation of the housing accommodation. A
substantial rehabilitation petition is filed only when proposed
rehabilitation cost equals or is more than 50% of the real property
tax assessment of the rental unit or housing accommodation.

Agreement with 70% of the tenants
o The Act allows tenants of a housing accommodation to enter into a
Voluntary Agreement with the housing provider to establish the
rent, capital improvements, services and facilities, or repairs and
maintenance.
o If the housing provider initiates the Voluntary Agreement, the
tenants must be given at least 14 days to review it following the
filing of the Voluntary Agreement with RAD and service on the
tenants.

EVENT DESCRIPTION
The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) will host its 45th Annual Legislative Conference (ALC) on
September 16-20, 2015 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. ALC is the leading policy
conference on issues impacting African Americans. The conference provides an important platform for thought leaders,
legislators and concerned citizens to engage on issues critical to the global black community. Historically, over 9,000
conference attendees attend ALC and other related events. We encourage you to join with other subject-matter experts,
industry leaders, elected officials and citizen activists to explore relevant issues from an African-American perspective.
Online registrations will be accepted through Sept. 12 at www.CBCFinc.org/alc.
Annually, ALC draws a large contingent of attendees from the State of Michigan. In an effort to enhance the experience
of Michiganders attending the conference, a group of businesses (then led by DTE Energy, Consumers Energy & the Big
