Landlord Eviction Legal Process

Summary

In Michigan, landlords must follow a legal process for eviction, including providing written notice and obtaining court approval. If a landlord is unresponsive, it complicates the eviction process. If the court or lawyer cant find information about the landlord or company, the case may be postponed or dismissed. Continual postponements can extend the case duration but dont necessarily impact the outcome.

In Michigan, a landlord can't force you out without a legal process:
- They must provide a written notice.
- If you don't comply, they may file for an eviction lawsuit.
- The court decides whether eviction is justified.
Never leave without a court order.
If they don't it would be a improper
Yes, you're correct. In Michigan, if landlords don't follow the legal process for eviction, it could be considered illegal or "self-help" eviction, which is not allowed. They may face penalties for this behavior.
What if a landlord that you never here from in has been unresponsive all the time
In Michigan, a landlord is legally required to maintain the property and address urgent issues. If they're unresponsive:
- Document all attempts to contact them.
- If a repair issue is involved, you can use "repair and deduct" method.
- In extreme cases, you can sue for negligence.
So if they want me out the property what if they and listed in your can't never get intouch with them
In Michigan, if a landlord wants you out but is unresponsive:
- Continue to pay rent and document all attempts to contact.
- If eviction arises, they must be able to notify you.
- If they fail to communicate, it can complicate their eviction process.

If your court case keeps getting postponed, it could be due to various reasons such as:

Continual postponements can extend the duration of your case, but it doesn't necessarily impact the outcome.
