Either party may end a Michigan estate at will or month-to-month tenancy by giving one month's notice. When rent is payable at intervals shorter than three months, the notice need only equal the interval between rent payments, so a true month-to-month tenancy requires one month's notice from landlord or tenant.
MCL 554.134(1) provides that "an estate at will or by sufferance may be terminated by either party by giving 1 month's notice to the other party." The same section adds that if the rent reserved is "payable at periods of less than 3 months, the time of notice is sufficient if it is equal to the interval between the times of payment," tying the notice to the rental period. A notice "is not void because it states a day for the termination of the tenancy that does not correspond to the conclusion or commencement of a rental period." For nonpayment, MCL 554.134(2) allows the landlord to terminate by a written 7-day notice to quit. A year-to-year tenancy is terminated by notice that ends the lease one year from service.
No specific statutory penalty. A termination without the required notice is ineffective and cannot support a summary-proceedings eviction (MCL 554.134).
