Plain English

Macomb Ch. 13 Housing § 13-11 establishes that any dwelling covered by this division must hold a valid, current certificate of inspection before it can be rented or made available for occupancy. No person—whether an owner, manager, or other party—may offer such a dwelling for rent without that certificate in place. The community development coordinator, or a designee, has limited authority to grant a temporary variance of up to 30 days from this requirement.

For Property Managers

Under § 13-11, compliant operators in Macomb ensure that a valid, current certificate of inspection is obtained and on file before any covered dwelling unit is rented or made available to a new occupant. Operators who anticipate a lapse in certification may contact the community development coordinator to explore whether a short-term variance—available for no more than 30 days—applies to their situation. Maintaining up-to-date inspection records and scheduling inspections well in advance of lease commencement are practices generally associated with compliance under this section.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Section 13-11 gives tenants a basis to verify that their dwelling had a valid, current certificate of inspection at the time it was rented to them. If a tenant believes a unit was rented without the required certificate, they may raise this as a concern with the Macomb community development coordinator's office or consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options. Documenting the timeline of the rental agreement and any communications about the property's inspection status can be relevant when pursuing any inquiry under this provision.
