Operative Text
Sec. 29. A utility company shall notify the department 10 days before shutoff of service for nonpayment, including sewer, water, gas, or electric service, when the service is being supplied to the licensed owner or operator of a mobile home park or seasonal mobile home park for the use and benefit of the park's tenants.
Under MCL § 125.2329, when a utility company is about to shut off sewer, water, gas, or electric service to a licensed mobile home park or seasonal mobile home park owner or operator due to nonpayment, the utility must give the state department at least 10 days' advance notice before the shutoff occurs. This rule applies specifically when the service in question benefits the park's tenants rather than a private individual. The provision creates a notification window intended to allow the department to be aware of an impending service disruption affecting residents.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under MCL § 125.2329, licensed mobile home park and seasonal mobile home park operators should be aware that utility companies serving their parks are required to notify the state department 10 days before any shutoff for nonpayment of sewer, water, gas, or electric service. Compliant operators generally maintain current payment arrangements with utility providers and keep their licensing information up to date so that the department can be properly notified if a shutoff situation arises. Understanding this notification requirement helps operators anticipate potential regulatory scrutiny that may follow a reported nonpayment situation.

MCL § 125.2329 provides mobile home park and seasonal mobile home park tenants with an indirect protection: if the park owner or operator falls behind on utility payments, the utility company must notify the state department at least 10 days before cutting off sewer, water, gas, or electric service. This advance notice gives the department an opportunity to become aware of conditions that could affect residents' health and safety. Tenants who believe a shutoff is imminent or has occurred without proper notice may consider contacting the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available.
