HB 5754 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Civil procedure: evictions; redemption time period for tenancy; modify. Amends sec. 5744 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.5744).

This bill modifies Michigan's eviction laws by changing the standard waiting period before a landlord can legally remove a tenant from a property. Under the new rules, a court officer must wait 14 days after a judgment for possession is issued before enforcing eviction, unless specific exceptions apply. The legislation also clarifies that tenants who have paid at least half the purchase price in a foreclosure scenario get a longer 6-month waiting period, while those who pay the full judgment amount within the waiting period can stop the eviction. These changes aim to provide a defined timeframe for tenants to vacate or resolve outstanding debts before physical removal occurs.
