Mich. Admin. Code R. § R 125.2006b
Resident-provided utility service.
Operative Text
Rule 1006b. If the community resident provides any utility service that results in common community use, then the community shall disclose the charge to all affected residents. History: 1998 AACS; 2003 AACS.
Under Mich. Admin. Code R. 125.2006b, when a manufactured housing community resident supplies a utility service that ends up benefiting shared or common areas of the community, the community operator is required to disclose the associated charge to every resident who is affected by that arrangement. The rule creates a transparency obligation tied specifically to situations where a resident's private utility connection crosses into communal use. It does not address how the charge must be calculated, only that it must be disclosed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under R. 125.2006b, compliant manufactured housing community operators identify any situation in which a resident's utility service is being drawn upon for common community purposes and promptly disclose the resulting charge to all affected residents. Operators generally maintain records of such arrangements and ensure that disclosure is made in writing so there is a clear paper trail. Reviewing utility service arrangements periodically helps operators stay current with this disclosure obligation as community circumstances change.

R. 125.2006b gives manufactured housing community residents the right to receive a clear disclosure of any charge that arises when their utility service is used for common community purposes. If a resident believes this disclosure has not been provided, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, which oversees manufactured housing community rules, or reaching out to a tenant-rights or manufactured-housing resident organization for guidance. Keeping copies of any utility-related communications from the community can be useful when pursuing any of these avenues.
