Unresponsive Landlord Rent Dispute

Summary

If your landlord is unresponsive and claiming you owe more rent, document all communication attempts and report to your local housing authority. Seek legal advice for further assistance. In Michigan, landlords should be reachable and responsive. If Section 8 is involved, they should handle their portion directly with the landlord. You are only responsible for your agreed portion of the rent. If the landlord remains unresponsive, consult a legal advisor for further guidance.
