Can sublessees qualify for the MI Homestead Credit, or only the original lessee?

[DawnC · Accepted solution]

If two or more individuals are contracted to pay rent and occupy the rental property, each may file a homestead property tax credit. The claim must be based only on his/her prorated share of rent paid and his/her own total household resources. Rent must be divided equally between each individual.
