Housing: landlord and tenants; termination of tenancy; establish grounds of good cause. Amends secs. 3238, 5714, 5735, 5744, 5775 & 5779 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.3238 et seq.).
This bill modifies Michigan's landlord-tenant laws to clarify when a landlord can legally end a lease for "good cause" related to property damage or safety hazards. It specifically defines "good cause" to include issues like stripped plumbing, missing structural elements, or conditions that pose a risk to public safety or criminal activity. The legislation outlines a process where landlords must provide notice and allow tenants a reasonable time to repair damages before taking legal action to regain possession. By detailing these specific grounds and procedures, the bill aims to provide clearer guidelines for both landlords and tenants regarding lease termination due to property conditions.
