Plain English

Under Mich. Admin. Code § R 125.1706, manufactured housing communities in Michigan are required to give each new resident written information about severe weather warning systems and designated emergency shelters at the moment they move in. The written notice must state whether the local government offers such systems or shelters, explain how any warning system works, and identify the nearest shelter location if one exists. This rule ensures residents have access to potentially life-saving emergency information from the very start of their tenancy.

For Property Managers

Operators of manufactured housing communities must comply with Mich. Admin. Code § R 125.1706 by preparing a written disclosure that addresses the local government's severe weather warning system and shelter availability before any new resident takes occupancy. A compliant operator confirms with local authorities whether a warning system or designated shelters exist, documents that information accurately, and delivers the written notice no later than the day the resident moves in. Keeping records of each disclosure—such as a signed acknowledgment—supports a clear compliance trail.

For Tenants

Under Mich. Admin. Code § R 125.1706, residents of manufactured housing communities have the right to receive written information about local severe weather warnings and nearby emergency shelters at the time they move in. If a community failed to provide this disclosure upon occupancy, that gap may be relevant to a complaint filed with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, which oversees manufactured housing community rules. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Michigan manufactured housing law can help residents understand what options may be available when this notice is not provided.
