Bill > HB4982

This bill amends Michigan law regarding landlord-tenant relationships by modifying notice periods for terminating tenancies, primarily focusing on nonpayment of rent. Specifically, the bill increases the notice period for terminating a tenancy due to rent nonpayment from 7 days to 14 days, giving tenants more time to address potential payment issues before facing eviction. The bill maintains existing provisions about other types of tenancy terminations, such as month-to-month tenancies requiring one month's notice and year-to-year tenancies requiring notice at any time with termination at the year's end. Additionally, the bill preserves a provision allowing immediate (24-hour) termination in cases involving controlled substance manufacturing or possession on the leased premises, provided a formal police report has been filed. The changes aim to provide slightly more protection for tenants by extending the window for resolving rent payment issues while maintaining landlords' ability to address serious lease violations.
