FAQ

The rights of a tenantThe right to live in a property that's safe and in a good state of repair. The right to have your deposit returned at the end of the tenancy (provided that you meet the terms of your tenancy agreement).
Many landlords prefer their rental contracts to be witnessed or even notarized; however, it's not necessary to do so under Michigan law.
Landlords Must Not Just Let Themselves Into The Property You might own the land, but you cannot walk into a filled property whenever you like. If the tenants aren't at home, a landlord must agree a time they can enter the property with the incumbent person. Likewise, you cannot demand entry at any point.
So you may not have to pay much, if any additional rent, if you break your lease. You need pay only the amount of rent the landlord loses because you moved out early. This is because Michigan requires landlords to take reasonable steps to keep their losses to a minimumor to "mitigate damages" in legal terms.
There are legal reasons where you can break your lease without penalty, including:The landlord has violated your privacy or harassed your family.The landlord turned off your utilities.The unit violates Michigan Health or Safety codes.You are being put on active duty as a member of uniformed services.More items...
In general, you can only end the tenancy early if your landlord agrees. Your landlord does not necessarily have to do so. You will remain responsible for paying the rent until the end of the tenancy contract or the next break clause point.
You can still break the lease by paying all the rent due for the remaining lease term. Under Michigan law, you only need to pay the amount the landlord loses, in the event of breaking the lease. No matter what your reason for leaving is, landlords must make reasonable efforts to re-rent the unit.
Tenant Responsibilities in Michigan Aside from paying rent in a timely fashion, Michigan tenants must: Keep the unit safe and in a habitable condition. Keep the unit clean and sanitary. Make small repairs and maintenance.
