Mich. Admin. Code R. § R 125.1717
Insect and rodent control.
Operative Text
Rule 717. The owner and manager of a mobile home park or seasonal mobile home park shall routinely inspect the park to observe any possible evidence of an insect or rodent infestation. When such evidence is found, measures compatible with proper pest control practice shall be taken to reduce the infestation to a level where insects or rodents no longer exert an adverse affect on the health and well-being of park residents. History: 2008 AACS.
Under Mich. Admin. Code R. 125.1717, mobile home park and seasonal mobile home park owners and managers are required to conduct routine inspections of their properties for signs of insect or rodent infestation. If evidence of an infestation is discovered, the rule obligates them to take pest control measures consistent with accepted professional practices. The goal of those measures is to reduce the infestation to a point where insects or rodents no longer pose a threat to the health and well-being of residents.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Mich. Admin. Code R. 125.1717 places the responsibility for routine pest inspections squarely on park owners and managers. Compliant operators typically establish a regular inspection schedule, document findings, and engage licensed pest control professionals when evidence of infestation is detected. Keeping records of inspections and remediation efforts can demonstrate ongoing compliance with the rule's requirement that measures align with accepted pest control practices.

Mich. Admin. Code R. 125.1717 gives park residents a basis to expect that their park owner or manager is actively inspecting for and addressing insect or rodent infestations. If a resident observes signs of infestation that appear to be going unaddressed, they may consider documenting the conditions with photographs and written notices to park management. Tenants can also explore filing a complaint with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available enforcement paths.
