Housing: landlord and tenants; cross-reference to summary proceedings to recover possession of premises provision; update. Amends sec. 44a of 1933 (Ex Sess) PA 18 (MCL 125.694a).
This bill updates Michigan law to clarify the specific reasons a local housing authority can legally end a tenant's lease in public housing projects. It defines "just cause" for eviction to include lease violations, using the property for illegal activities, or maintaining unsafe and unsanitary living conditions. The legislation directly affects residents of government-operated housing and the agencies that manage them by standardizing the rules for terminating tenancies. It also establishes that these termination actions must follow established legal procedures for recovering possession of premises.
