State of Michigan Application Fee
Hello, I am new to all of this and learning. For those landlords in Michigan - is there a maximum application fee for prospective tenants? I know some states do, but I am sifting through Michigan law and just not finding anything. So either there is no law on this or there is common law (or I am just not finding it). Either way, is there a maximum application fee? Or are you just allowed to charge what your costs are that you incurred with background checks, credit checks, etc...? Also, what is kind of the average rate for application fees in Michigan? Thanks in advance!
