Property Management

Under Michigan law, a lease provision that shifts property repair responsibilities entirely to the tenant is:

AFully enforceable if both parties signed the lease
BEnforceable for cosmetic repairs only
CUnenforceable under the Landlord-Tenant Relationships Act for habitability-related repairs✓ Correct
DEnforceable only in commercial leases

Explanation

Michigan's Landlord-Tenant Relationships Act (MCL 554.139) imposes a non-waivable duty on landlords to maintain habitability. Lease provisions that waive this duty are unenforceable, regardless of tenant agreement.
