Tenant Eviction Rights Michigan

Summary

In Michigan, landlords must provide a 30-day notice to month-to-month tenants before eviction. Without this notice, eviction is not legal. If you never signed a lease, you are considered a month-to-month tenant. Landlords can terminate the lease for business purposes but must still follow the 30-day notice rule. To stop an unlawful eviction, consult a legal professional, document all communications, and, if necessary, contest the eviction in court. If you wish to stay, consider offering higher rent, providing references, or proposing a longer lease term. Always communicate through your lawyer if you have one.
