Michigan condo associations enforce the master deed, bylaws, and rules through MCL 559.165, which makes compliance mandatory, backed by fines, injunctions, and liens. Non-condo HOAs enforce covenants and architectural rules through the recorded declaration interpreted under Michigan contract and property law — there is no general HOA enforcement statute.
For condominiums, MCL 559.165 provides that "[e]ach unit co-owner, tenant, or nonco-owner occupant shall comply with the master deed, bylaws, and rules and regulations of the condominium project and this act." That mandatory-compliance duty is enforced through MCL 559.206, which allows an action for damages, injunctive relief, fines after notice and hearing, and foreclosure of the lien. Architectural-review and use restrictions in the master deed or bylaws are enforced on this footing. For non-condo planned communities, Michigan has not adopted a comprehensive common-interest statute; restrictive covenants, architectural-review provisions, and CC&Rs are enforced as recorded equitable servitudes under Michigan property and contract law, with the association acting under the Nonprofit Corporation Act (MCL 450.2101 et seq.).
Condo covenant violations can draw an action for damages, injunctive relief, fines (after notice and hearing), and lien foreclosure under MCL 559.165 and 559.206. Non-condo CC&R violations are enforced as equitable servitudes through court action under the recorded declaration.
