§ 14-131. Definitions.

Latest version.

(a)

The terms used to classify groups protected by the provisions of this article shall have the same meaning as used in Act No. 453 of the Public Acts of Michigan of 1976 (MCL 37.2101 et seq.), as amended (Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act).

(b)

The term "source of income" means only lawful sources from which income is derived. When used in this article this term shall not be deemed to preclude a good faith business decision by an owner, lessee or sublessee of real property that an individual be denied access to housing due to his inability to meet the financial burdens attendant to the purchase, lease or sublease of such housing accommodation.

(c)

The term "respondent" means the person alleged to have violated this article. It shall refer also to the person authorized to answer the complaint if that person is not the alleged violator.

(Code 1977, § 9.155; Ord. No. 2012-03, § 1, 2-21-12; Ord. No. 2018-07, 6-26-18)
