renters

New Michigan bills could transform the rental landscape, offering tenants greater power to enforce repairs and receive timely security deposit returns.

When you look for a place to move into you, you consider location, cost, space and safety. What about the moving out? A local landlord gives us a look at what he deals with when renters leave.

Did you realize even though you might find a 5 or 6 bedroom house in Grand Rapids, you can't rent all of those rooms out, if you're not related to the people renting.

Landlords can apply for a lump sum of the back rent owed, or tenants can be set up on a "manageable payment plan."
