FAQ
Under Senate Bills 205, 206 and 207, landlords cannot deny a renter housing based on their source of income including Section 8 housing choice vouchers, public assistance, veterans' benefits, Social Security, supplemental security income or other retirement programs.
A Roommate Agreement is a written contract between roommates that outlines their rights and obligations while living together. This agreement includes house rules, maintenance duties, restricted behaviors, and more. For a Roommate Agreement to be useful, everyone sharing the household must agree to it.
Per contract law, a contract is only considered to be legally binding if it is mutually beneficial for all parties involved. This is also known as consideration. When one party does something without getting anything in return, the contract is typically considered unenforceable by the courts.
As a tenant, you are legally responsible for the lease agreement that you signed with the landlord and property owner. While you can choose to live with someone who is not on the lease, some potential complications and risks come with this choice.
Roommates cannot evict one another. The eviction process is only available in landlord-tenant relationships. This means you cannot force your roommate to leave the home, and your roommate cannot force you to leave the home. This is true even if your roommate stopped paying for their portion of rent and utilities.
To Sum it Up: Verbal agreements can be legal in Michigan, but it's always better to have a written contract, especially for important agreements. A written contract provides clear evidence of the terms and reduces the risk of misunderstandings or someone backing out of the agreement.
