FAQ
Escrow is when a tenant puts their rent money in a third-party, neutral account instead of giving it to their landlord until conditions are met. It must be paid in the full amount and on time, to prove that the tenant does have the money. Escrow accounts can be made at a bank or a credit union.
Courts in Michigan have recognized two common legal self-help strategies that some tenants choose to pursue following a mold outbreak in their apartment or rental home. The first, known as "rent withholding," is when tenants decide to stop paying rent, claiming the mold has made their apartment uninhabitable.
The notice must: Be in writing. Be addressed to the tenant. Describe the rental property, usually by giving the address. Give the reason for the eviction. State how much time the tenant has to fix the problem, if there is one. Include the landlord's address and the date of the notice.
In most cases, your landlord must give you a Notice to Quit before starting a court case. The amount of time between the notice and when your landlord can start an eviction case varies depending on the reason for the eviction.
Withholding or Deducting Rent for Repairs The tenant should notify the landlord in writing if they withhold rent or decide to make the repair. If the tenant decides to withhold rent for repairs, the money must be put in an escrow account and the amount should be reasonable and connected to the cost of the repair.
