No. Michigan law prohibits landlords from refusing a renter because they pay with a Section 8 voucher. That protection applies in Wexford County. If you were turned away for having a voucher, that refusal may be illegal.
Michigan Public Act 195 of 2024 (effective April 2, 2025)
Michigan Public Act 195 of 2024 added source-of-income protection to state law, effective April 2 2025.

Local ordinances may cover the small-landlord gap; Detroit and Southfield both do.
