How Expungement Helps With Housing and Education in Michigan
Finding a home or applying to school should be about building a future, not being judged for your past. Unfortunately, criminal records are one of the most common reasons Michigan residents are denied housing or education opportunities. Expungement clears your record so you can move forward with confidence.
Why Housing Applications Are Denied
- Nearly all landlords conduct criminal background checks.
- Even minor offenses can trigger automatic denial.
- While fair housing laws exist, landlords are still legally allowed to reject based on a criminal record.
How Expungement Helps With Housing
- Higher chances of rental and mortgage approval
- No need to explain old charges to landlords
- Freedom to live where you choose
Education and Career Opportunities
Criminal records can also block access to education.
- College admissions often ask about criminal history
- Financial aid eligibility can be affected by past drug convictions
- Licensing programs in healthcare, law, or teaching require clean records
