Wayne County does not separately regulate extended home-share arrangements where a host rents rooms for periods longer than typical short-term stays; rentals over 30 days generally fall under residential landlord-tenant rules rather than STR ordinances.
Michigan landlord-tenant law (MCL 554.601 et seq.) applies once a rental term exceeds 30 days, converting an extended home-share into a traditional tenancy with eviction protections, security deposit limits, and habitability obligations. Wayne County does not impose additional regulation on such stays. Detroit and other Wayne County cities may still require rental registration once a unit becomes a tenancy. Hosts who blend short and long stays should track each stay length carefully, because crossing the 30-day threshold can trigger licensing, withholding rules, and tenant rights that do not apply to nightly STR bookings.
Treating an extended occupant as a hotel-style guest after 30 days may expose hosts to wrongful eviction claims, security deposit penalties, and rental licensing citations from city code enforcement officials.
