Michigan Move-in/move-out checklist

Is a move-in or move-out inspection checklist required in Michigan?

Required. At move-in the landlord gives 2 identical blank inventory checklists with a required bold notice; the tenant completes and returns one within 7 days and may request the prior tenant's termination checklist. At move-out the landlord completes a termination inventory checklist listing claimed damages.
