HB 5386 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Civil procedure: evictions; eviction after expiration of temporary possession under a sales agreement; provide for. Amends sec. 5714 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.5714).

This bill amends Michigan's civil procedure laws to clarify when landlords can evict tenants who remain in homes after a sales agreement expires. Specifically, it adds a new circumstance allowing for summary eviction proceedings if a seller stays in the property beyond the time limit set by a temporary possession agreement following a sale. The change applies to any person holding over premises under such an agreement and does not alter existing eviction rules for other reasons like nonpayment of rent or lease violations. By updating the statute, the legislation ensures that sellers who are granted temporary occupancy after a property sale can legally recover possession once that specific period ends.
