What is this bond?

The Michigan Uniform Manufactured Housing Retailer's Consumer Deposit Bond is a surety bond that protects consumers who place a down payment or deposit on a manufactured home. It guarantees that the retailer will either deliver the home as agreed or properly refund the buyer's deposit. If the retailer fails to fulfill these obligations, the bond provides a mechanism for the consumer to recover their funds.

Who needs it?

This bond is generally needed by manufactured housing retailers and dealers operating within the state of Michigan. Specifically, businesses that accept upfront deposits or down payments from consumers for the purchase of manufactured homes are usually required to secure this coverage.

Why is it required?

The state regulating agency requires this bond to protect the public from financial harm caused by unethical or insolvent retailers. It serves as a financial guarantee that consumer funds will not be misappropriated if a business closes or fails to complete a sale. By requiring this bond, the state ensures that retailers adhere to industry regulations and maintain fair business practices.
