"An act to regulate relationships between landlords and tenants
relative to rental agreements for rental units; to regulate the
payment, repayment, use and investment of security deposits; to
provide for commencement and termination inventories of rental
units; to provide for termination arrangements relative to rental
units; to provide for legal remedies; and to provide penalties,"
by amending section 11 (MCL 554.611).
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 11. The tenant shall notify the landlord in writing using
registered mail return receipt requested or certified mail return
receipt
requested at the address given under
section 4 3 within 4
10 days after termination of his or her occupancy of an address at
which communications pursuant to this act may be received. Failure
to comply with this requirement relieves the landlord of the
requirement
of notice of damages. but does not prejudice a tenant's
subsequent
claim for the security deposit.
