What if the OP made the same statement in a phone instead of an email? can the tenants still be able to secretly make a voice recording and turn over to the government agency to make a case against the landlord?

Yes, Michigan law allows recording of phone conversations with the consent of just one party. To validate a discimination claim as such, most likely testers would call/contact the landlord to see if such statements are made to them.

Twelve states — California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington — generally prohibit individuals from recording conversations unless all parties to the communication consent to the recording. These states are typically referred to as “all-party consent” or “two-party consent” states. The remaining thirty-eight states (including Wisconsin), along with the District of Columbia, are considered “one-party consent” states. In these states, individuals may legally record a conversation to which they are a party so long as one of the parties to the communication consents to the recording. Because the consenting party in these states can also be the individual doing the recording, the conversation may be — and often is — recorded without the knowledge or consent of any other party. This is also the rule under federal law.
