Macomb — Ch. 13 Housing § 13-16
Certificate availability
Operative Text
Upon the request of an existing or prospective tenant, the owner or owner's agent shall produce the certificate of inspection.
Under Macomb Ch. 13 Housing § 13-16, property owners are required to make their certificate of inspection available whenever a current or prospective tenant asks to see it. This rule ensures that tenants have access to documentation confirming that a rental unit has been officially inspected. The provision places the obligation to produce the certificate squarely on the owner or their agent.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 13-16, a compliant property owner or manager keeps the certificate of inspection readily accessible so it can be produced promptly upon any tenant or prospective tenant request. Operators generally maintain an up-to-date copy on file and ensure that any agents acting on their behalf are also able to fulfill this obligation. Failing to produce the certificate when requested could constitute a violation of this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 13-16 gives both current and prospective tenants the right to ask an owner or their agent to produce the certificate of inspection for a rental property. If an owner or agent refuses or is unable to provide the certificate upon request, that may represent a violation of this provision, which tenants can report to the appropriate local housing authority in Macomb. Tenant-rights organizations can also help explain what options are generally available when a landlord does not comply with inspection certificate requirements.
