Hello Loretta, it seems like you're dealing with defamation by a former landlord. In Michigan:
*. Defamation is a false statement communicated to others.
*. It must harm your reputation.
*. The speaker must be at fault.
If these apply, you may seek legal recourse. Do you need a lawyer's contact?
It's Not a false statement I do old hèr for * mth But do she have the right to contact my old landlords
Hello Loretta, in general, a landlord may share information regarding your tenancy with potential landlords, including payment history. However, the information shared must be accurate and not misleading. It's advisable to consult a local attorney for specific advice.

Apologies for the confusion, Loretta. Unfortunately, I can't provide direct contacts, but I can guide you on how to find a local attorney. You can use lawyer referral services in Michigan, such as the State Bar of Michigan Lawyer Referral Service.
