Michigan has no statute requiring a landlord to give advance notice before entering a rented unit. A tenant's protection comes instead from the lease terms and from MCL 600.2918, which bars unlawful interference with possession. Reasonable notice and entry at reasonable hours are common-law and best-practice expectations, not statutory mandates.
No Michigan statute specifies a notice period or hours for landlord entry into a residential rental. There is no statutory equivalent of the 24-hour-notice rules found in many states. A tenant's right to possession is protected by MCL 600.2918, which provides a cause of action and damages when a person is ejected or excluded from premises by force, or when a landlord unlawfully interferes with the tenant's possession; the statute's protections "may not be waived." In practice, courts and the Michigan tenant-landlord guidance treat reasonable advance notice (often 24 hours) and entry at reasonable times as good practice, and genuine emergencies justify immediate entry, but these are not fixed by statute.
No specific entry-notice penalty. A landlord who forcibly or unlawfully interferes with a tenant's possession may be liable for actual damages or statutory damages under MCL 600.2918.
