A standard Michigan rental application form asks each applicant for the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Personal information<\/strong>: Names of all applicants, co-signers, and co-applicants, plus contact info, dates of birth, Social Security Numbers, and emergency contacts<\/li>\n<li><strong>Financial information<\/strong>: Employment, income, and self-reported credit score<\/li>\n<li><strong>References<\/strong>: Employers\u2019 and previous landlords\u2019 contact information for verification<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rental history<\/strong>: Current address and recent rental history<\/li>\n<li><strong>Animals<\/strong>: Type, breed, size, age of pets, and whether any qualify as service or emotional support animals (ESAs)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smoking status<\/strong>: Whether the applicant smokes or plans to smoke on the property<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vehicle details:<\/strong> Make, model, year, and license plate for each vehicle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By nature, tenant screening uncovers sensitive personal details, so both federal and Michigan laws regulate what landlords can ask and how they can use the information they uncover when selecting tenants.<\/p>\n<p>With a free <a href=\"https:\/\/rental.turbotenant.com\/auth\/signup\">TurboTenant account<\/a>, landlords can send and receive applications that comply with Michigan laws. And don&#8217;t worry; our in-house legal team keeps these fillable application templates up to date with state and federal laws to help you stay compliant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ttsf-rich-text legal\">\n<h2><strong>Pre-Screener<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/support.turbotenant.com\/en\/articles\/4004034-what-is-the-pre-screener-and-how-does-it-work\">pre-screener<\/a> collects key data about a potential renter upfront. This early filter helps landlords identify strong leads and eliminate weak ones before moving to the comprehensive rental application process.<\/p>\n<p>Residential pre-screeners often ask tenants to provide their:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Income,<\/li>\n<li>Job status,<\/li>\n<li>Pet information,<\/li>\n<li>Household size,<\/li>\n<li>And more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Michigan law doesn\u2019t mandate pre-screening, but landlords who use the process avoid wasting precious time on unqualified applicants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ttsf-rich-text legal\">\n<h2><strong>Federal Application Laws<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Federal law sets the foundation for how Michigan landlords screen rental applicants. These regulations apply throughout the application and tenant-screening process and carry significant legal consequences for noncompliance. Adhering to these laws promotes fairness between landlords and applicants, reducing the likelihood of future legal issues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fair Housing Act (FHA)<\/strong>: The FHA prohibits landlords from rejecting applicants based on any of the following protected traits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Race,<\/li>\n<li>Color,<\/li>\n<li>National origin,<\/li>\n<li>Religion,<\/li>\n<li>Sex,<\/li>\n<li>Disability, and<\/li>\n<li>Familial status.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Any question on a Michigan rental application form that seeks protected information, such as \u201cDo you plan to have kids?\u201d, violates the FHA. Additionally, the FHA applies to landlords, property managers, staff, and anyone responsible for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turbotenant.com\/advertise-rental-property\/\">advertising rentals<\/a> or selecting tenants (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/crt\/fair-housing-act-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">42 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 3601\u20133619<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA)<\/strong>: The ECOA prohibits discrimination in credit-related decisions, including those involving rental applications and payment arrangements. This law prevents landlords from basing rental approvals or denials on all of the FHA-protected traits, as well as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Receipt of public assistance income,<\/li>\n<li>Age (as long as the applicant is legally permitted to enter a contract), and<\/li>\n<li>Whether the applicant has exercised rights under the Consumer Credit Protection Act (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/crt\/equal-credit-opportunity-act-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">15 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 1691\u20131691f<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)<\/strong>: This federal law protects applicants with disabilities from discriminatory treatment. It prohibits landlords from denying housing based on disability. It requires them to offer reasonable accommodations to tenants (such as allowing a service animal in a rental unit or adjusting lease policies to meet specific needs).<\/p>\n<p>To avoid discrimination claims, landlords should never ask questions that attempt to uncover whether a rental applicant has a disability. For example, asking a potential tenant something like, \u201cWill you need special modifications to the unit?\u201d crosses the legal line (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ada.gov\/law-and-regs\/ada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">42 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 12101\u201312213<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)<\/strong>: The FCRA sets clear rules for how landlords can use credit and background reports during screening.<\/p>\n<p>Before pulling any report, landlords must obtain the applicant&#8217;s written consent. If the landlord rejects the applicant based on information contained in the report, they must send the applicant an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turbotenant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Adverse-Action-Letter-Application-Denial-March.pdf\">adverse action notice<\/a> that includes the reporting agency\u2019s name and contact information (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/legal-library\/browse\/statutes\/fair-credit-reporting-act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">15 U.S.C. \u00a7 1681 et seq.<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Civil Rights Act of 1866<\/strong>: This landmark nationwide law gives every U.S. citizen the same right to buy, lease, and use property, regardless of race or color. Landlords who violate this law, whether intentionally or not, can face serious legal consequences (<a href=\"https:\/\/constitutioncenter.org\/the-constitution\/historic-document-library\/detail\/civil-rights-act-of-1866-april-9-1866-an-act-to-protect-all-persons-in-the-united-states-in-their-civil-rights-and-furnish-the-means-of-their-vindication\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">42 U.S.C. \u00a7 1981<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ttsf-rich-text legal\">\n<h2><strong>Michigan Application Laws<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to federal laws, state legislation regulates the types of questions landlords can ask on a Michigan rental application form and restricts when and how landlords can legally deny someone based on the information they receive.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan\u2019s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA) essentially reinforces the federal FHA by banning housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, or familial status (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/documents\/mcl\/pdf\/mcl-Act-453-of-1976.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mich. Comp. Laws \u00a7 37.2101-37.2804<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The ELCRA also protects against discrimination based on age, marital status, sexual orientation, and gender identity. The Michigan Department of Civil Rights outlines these regulations in detail within its official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/-\/media\/Project\/Websites\/mdcr\/brochures\/fair-housing\/fair-housing-laws.pdf?rev=44c74b6f781e4e4e9663aa7d606db2f4&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fair Housing brochure<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source of income<\/strong>: As of 2026, Michigan landlords who own five or more rental units cannot deny applicants based on income sources such as housing vouchers, Social Security, disability benefits, or other lawful earnings (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/Laws\/MCL?objectName=mcl-37-2502\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mich. Comp. Laws \u00a7 37.2502<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Criminal history<\/strong>: Michigan landlords may not ask about or review an applicant\u2019s criminal history until <em>after<\/em> they have made a conditional rental offer based on non-criminal criteria. They can only consider certain convictions (such as recent felonies, arson, or sex offender offenses), and applicants must have the opportunity to respond before the landlord denies them housing (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/Bills\/Bill?ObjectName=2023-HB-4878\">House Bill 4878<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eviction history<\/strong>: Michigan law allows landlords to consider a tenant\u2019s eviction history during the screening process, but they must still apply screening procedures consistently across all applicants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sexual orientation &amp; gender identity<\/strong>: Michigan law prohibits landlords from denying applicants or mistreating tenants based on their sexual orientation or gender identity (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/Laws\/MCL?objectName=mcl-37-2102\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mich. Comp.

Because federal law does not consider these types of animals as pets, landlords must allow them in their rental units if a tenant provides proper documentation to prove their status.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, landlords may not charge pet fees, rent, or deposits for service animals or ESAs. Tenants must still pay for any damages caused by those animals within the rental unit, however.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pet information<\/strong>: Landlords should inquire about applicants\u2019 pets, service animals, and ESAs during the Michigan application process. If the landlord allows pets in the rental, the form should include questions about the number of pets, their types, breeds, sizes, and ages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fair Housing Act<\/strong>: Federal law protects applicants who require service animals or ESAs. Landlords may not deny housing or charge pet fees based on the animal\u2019s breed, size, or weight, even if the animal doesn\u2019t meet the landlord\u2019s typical criteria for in-unit pets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ttsf-rich-text legal\">\n<h2><strong>Denial Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When landlords deny an applicant in 2026, they must follow the law and apply consistent screening measures to everyone. In Michigan, valid reasons for denial include low income, bad credit, eviction history, unverifiable employment, or certain types of criminal convictions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Denial notice<\/strong>: Michigan landlords must notify applicants of a denial, explain the reasons, and share any consumer report used in the decision with the tenant. They must also give applicants a chance to respond before finalizing the decision (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/Bills\/Bill?ObjectName=2024-HB-5605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">House Bill 5605<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Credit\/Background denials<\/strong>: The FCRA also requires landlords to send a written notice when they deny an application based on credit report information, which must explain that the decision was made based on details of the applicant\u2019s credit history.<\/p>\n<p>The notice must include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The name of the company<\/strong> that ran the credit or background check,<\/li>\n<li><strong>A written statement<\/strong> explaining the applicant\u2019s right to dispute the report, and<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contact information<\/strong> for the agency that provided the report (<a href=\"https:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-1999-title15-section1681m&amp;num=0&amp;edition=1999\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">15 U.S.C. \u00a7 1681m<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Document storage<\/strong>: Michigan law doesn\u2019t set a required timeline for landlords to store screening records from rejected applicants.
