This bill updates Michigan laws regarding mobile home park tenancies by clarifying the specific reasons, known as 'just cause,' under which a landlord can legally evict a tenant. It directly affects tenants in mobile home parks and park operators by defining valid grounds for eviction, such as lease violations, nonpayment of rent after three occurrences in a year, property damage, or public safety issues. The legislation also introduces a new requirement for an in-person conference between the tenant and park operator within 20 days of an eviction demand, while ensuring tenants must continue paying rent until the legal process concludes. Additionally, the bill mandates that eviction judgments explicitly inform tenants of their right to sell their mobile home on the site within 15 days of losing their lease.
