FAQ
No. Michigan Lease Agreements do not need to be notarized. The Rental Contract is legally binding as long as it's signed by both the Landlord, or the lessor, and the Tenant, or the lessee.
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.
Leases don't have to be in writing. But if a lease is written, it must include the name and address where the landlord will notify the tenant of changes to the lease. The lease must tell tenants they must give the landlord a forwarding address in writing where they can be reached within four days after moving out.
It's not necessary. Typically, one of the parties may request to have the document signed and notarized, but it's not required by Michigan laws.
It is possible to draft your own lease agreement, but you are leaving yourself open to issues.
What do I include in a Roommate Agreement? Information about the property, roommates, and original lease. Term or length of the agreement. Rent responsibilities. Security deposit details. Responsibilities for utilities and household costs. House rules, roommate duties, and restrictions. Rules for termination of tenancy.
Eviction In Michigan Landlord Serves a 24-hour to Seven-Day Eviction Notice. Landlord Files an Eviction Lawsuit with the Court. Court Serves Tenant the Summons. Landlord and Tenant Attend Court Hearing and Receive Judgment. Tenant Moves Out or Sheriff Arrives to Forcibly Remove the Tenant.
No matter if you use a direct or indirect approach to the conversation initially, make it clear that you want your roommate to move out. Give firm dates or timelines. For example, you can say something like, ``I think it's best if you move out. Our lease is up in 2 months. Can you find a new place to live by then?''
If there is no written agreement, you can give them a written 30 day notice to vacate. If they don't vacate, then you can file a formal eviction action in court to get a hearing date and then a judgment and writ of possession that the sheriff would execute to force them to leave.
