Before evicting, a Michigan landlord must serve the correct written demand: 7 days for nonpayment of rent, 7 days for serious health hazards, extensive damage, or physical violence, and 24 hours for unlawful drug activity. After notice expires the landlord files a summary proceedings action; there is no statutory 30-day for-cause eviction notice.
MCL 600.5714 governs when a landlord may recover possession. For nonpayment, the tenant must hold over "within 7 days from the service of a written demand for possession for nonpayment of the rent due" (subsection (a)). A 7-day demand also applies where the occupant "willfully or negligently causes a serious and continuing health hazard" or extensive damage and fails to repair (subsection (d)), and where a household member causes or threatens physical injury (subsection (e)). Unlawful drug activity allows a 24-hour notice with a police report (subsection (b)). After notice expires, the landlord files a summary proceedings complaint in district court; the tenant is summoned within roughly 10 days, and a possession judgment is typically followed by a 10-day period before an eviction order issues.
No statutory fine on the landlord, but self-help eviction is prohibited; an eviction filed without the proper demand is subject to dismissal, and a tenant unlawfully ousted may recover under MCL 600.2918.
