Landlord Lease Termination Notice
Summary
Landlords in Michigan must provide proper notice before terminating a lease, typically 30 days for month-to-month agreements. If you were incarcerated, your tenant rights remain intact, and the landlord cannot terminate the lease without notice. Review your lease for any specific clauses related to incarceration and consult a local attorney for guidance on challenging the termination. Consider contacting the Michigan State Bar Association for assistance in finding a tenant rights attorney.Full Conversation
Is it ok for my landlord to give me no notice to terminate my lease and move out my belongings?

Hi ****! In Michigan, landlords are typically required to provide:
- 30 days' notice for month-to-month leases.
- Notice as specified in the lease agreement for fixed-term leases.
If your landlord has not provided the appropriate notice, you may have grounds to challenge their actions.
Do you have a written lease agreement?
Yes
****, if you have a written lease agreement, your landlord must follow the notice requirements outlined in it. In Michigan, even for month-to-month leases, 30 days' notice is standard. Moving out your belongings without notice could be a violation of your tenant rights. You might want to consult with a local attorney to discuss your options.
Would you like more information on how to proceed legally?
What if I was in jail and that's why they terminated my lease without notice?
If you were in jail, it doesn't automatically give the landlord the right to terminate your lease without proper notice. Your legal rights as a tenant still apply. You may want to consider:
- Reviewing your lease for any specific clauses about incarceration.
- Consulting with a local attorney for guidance on challenging the termination.
