Just cause eviction rules in Wyoming, MI — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Wyoming has no local just-cause eviction ordinance. Evictions follow Michigan's Summary Proceedings Act (MCL 600.5701 et seq.) and the Landlord and Tenant Relationships Act (MCL 554.601+). Filings go to the 62-A District Court in Wyoming.
The City of Wyoming has not enacted a just-cause eviction rule, and Michigan law does not require cause to end most month-to-month or expired-term tenancies. Termination of a periodic tenancy requires written notice to quit equal to one rental period under MCL 554.134 — generally 30 days. Nonpayment requires a seven-day demand for possession under MCL 600.5714(1)(a). Eviction proceeds by summary-proceedings complaint in the 62-A District Court (2650 DeHoop Avenue SW), with appeal to the Kent County Circuit Court (17th Judicial Circuit). Federally subsidized tenants retain HUD just-cause protections, and the federal CARES Act 30-day notice still applies to covered units. Self-help eviction is barred by Michigan's Anti-Lockout statute (MCL 600.2918), which authorizes treble damages plus attorney fees.
With no local just-cause rule, tenants raise procedural, retaliation (MCL 600.5720), or discrimination defenses in the 62-A District Court or on appeal. Self-help lockouts, utility shutoffs, or removal of belongings trigger treble damages under MCL 600.2918.
