ANN ARBOR, MI — Ann Arbor is close to adopting a new fair housing ordinance to keep landlords from turning away renters with criminal backgrounds.
But based on issues raised by McKinley Inc., a major apartment landlord in the area, officials say the city needs to carve out exceptions for private landlords who are federally required in some cases to take a person’s criminal history into account.
