Just cause eviction rules in Warren, MI — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Michigan eviction procedure is governed uniformly by the Summary Proceedings Act. Landlords must follow statutory notice and court process under MCL 600.5701 through 600.5759.
Evictions in Michigan must proceed under the Summary Proceedings Act, MCL 600.5701 et seq. Landlords serve a written demand for possession (commonly 7 days for nonpayment, 30 days for termination of tenancy, 24 hours for serious health-hazard or illegal-drug situations) before filing a complaint in district court. Self-help eviction, lockouts, and utility shutoffs are prohibited under the anti-lockout statute MCL 600.2918, exposing landlords to treble damages. Michigan does not impose a statewide just-cause requirement for ending month-to-month tenancies, but landlords cannot retaliate for protected tenant activity under MCL 600.5720. The statutory framework applies in every county.
Self-help lockouts trigger treble damages plus $200 minimum under MCL 600.2918; defective notices result in case dismissal.
