JACKSON, Mich. — A plan that would make landlords pick up the cost when their tenants have to be removed from run-down properties is set to be discussed tonight.
A proposed ordinance in Jackson would force landlords to find and pay for temporary housing if their properties are deemed unfit to live in or "red tagged"
The city will pay for housing for tenants for the first five days but after that, the landlord would have to reimburse the city and they can be kept on the hook for the cost up to 90 days.
The Jackson City Council is scheduled to vote on the proposal at its meeting Tuesday night.
