    Can tenants withhold rent if a landlord won’t make repairs?

    Tenants in Michigan may withhold rent if landlords fail to make necessary repairs, but the process requires careful adherence to legal procedures. Michigan law mandates landlords maintain properties in 'reasonable repair,' though specific guidelines are not defined, leaving interpretations to courts. Tenants can deposit withheld rent into an escrow account or deduct repair costs from rent, provided they notify landlords and follow local ordinances.
