In a prior post from June 26, 2024, we wrote about Demorest attorney Mark Demorest being featured on Chanel 7 WXYZ regarding House Bill 5028, a new bill impacting homeowners associations and their energy policies across Michigan.
House Bill 5028, now Public Act 68 of 2024, was signed into law on July 8 by Governor Gretchen Whitmer. A press release from the Executive Office of the Governor highlighted the freedom given to homeowners because of this Act to make energy-saving home improvements to their property. This Act does so by invalidating certain provisions of homeowner association agreements (HOA) that prohibit homeowners from making certain energy-saving improvements to their property. Now that the bill was signed into law, it will take effect 90 days from the date of signature.
If you have questions about the impact of this law, or other areas of real estate law, an attorney at Demorest Law Firm may be able to assist you.
