ADDITIONAL SECURITY DEPOSIT INFORMATION:

As required by Michigan law regarding use of security deposits, the Landlord will make use of inventory checklists at the beginning

and ending of occupancy and will provide the Tenant(s) an inventory checklist when the Tenant(s) assume possession of the rental

unit. The Tenant(s) will note the condition of the unit and its furnishings and return the form to the Landlord within 7 days. The

Tenant(s) is/are entitled to receive a copy of the last ending inventory checklist which shows what claims were charged to the last prior

Tenant(s).

The Landlord may use the security deposit only for: 1) actual damages that are the result of conduct not reasonable expected in the

normal course of habitation of the dwelling; 2) past due rent and rent due for premature termination of this agreement; and 3) utility

bills not paid by Tenant(s).

As required by Michigan Law regarding use of security deposits, where there are charges against the security deposit the Landlord will

mail an itemized list of the damage charges and other costs to the Tenant(s) within 30 days of the ending occupancy along with a check

or money order for the difference between these charges and the total amount of the deposit. The Tenant(s) must respond within 7

days of receipt of this itemized list to secure full rights. If agreement is not reached about the amount claimed, the Landlord must begin

court action within 45 days after the ending of occupancy and obtain a money judgement for the disputed amount before retaining any

portion of it.

YOU MUST NOTIFY YOUR LANDLORD* IN WRITING WITHIN 4 DAYS AFTER YOU MOVE

OF A FORWARDING ADDRESS WHERE YOU CAN BE REACHED AND WHERE YOU

WILL RECEIVE MAIL; OTHERWISE YOUR LANDLORD SHALL BE RELIEVED OF SEND-

ING YOU AN ITEMIZED LIST OF DAMAGES AND THE PENALTIES ADHERENT TO THAT

FAILURE.

*If you have given the Security Deposit to a tenant who is subletting to you, rather than the Landlord, you must give the

notice of your forwarding address within 4 days to that tenant.
