Q. Can landlords prohibit tenants from having pets?

A. Yes, landlords in Michigan have the right to restrict tenants from having pets or to impose a pet deposit which can be used to pay for damages caused by pets. This does not extend to service or companion animals which are not considered to be pets and are not subject to pet fees or restrictions.

Q. Is a landlord allowed to prohibit smoking in a rental unit? What about medical marijuana?
