Title

An Ordinance to Amend Section 8:530 of Chapter 105 (Housing: Lease Agreements and Entry to Show Residential Premises) of Title VIII (Building Regulations) of the Ann Arbor City Code (ORD-21-22)

Memorandum

The proposed amendment requires landlords to communicate the terms of a subsequent lease no later than 180 days and gives tenants a right to renew leases for residential premises within 210 days, unless just cause exists to not renew a lease.  The ordinance defines the reasons and exceptions for just cause and prohibits a landlord from entering the premises to show them to prospective tenants until 210 days has passed.
