Michigan Notice Requirements, MCLA 554.134 and Summary Proceedings Act

Before a landlord may commence a Summary Proceedings (eviction) action in Michigan District Court to obtain possession, the landlord must first serve a proper written notice that complies with MCLA 554.134 (or the lease).

The correct notice type and minimum period depend on the grounds:

Service Requirements: Notice may be served by personal delivery to the tenant, or by leaving a copy at the premises with a person of suitable age and discretion and mailing a copy (or by posting in a conspicuous place and mailing). Proper proof of service is required when filing the court action.

Landlord must use the correct notice type and period. Using the wrong period or form may invalidate the eviction proceeding.

After the notice period expires without cure or vacation, landlord must file a Complaint for Possession in the District Court where the property is located. Court hearing and judgment are required before a writ of restitution (eviction order) can be issued. Self-help eviction is strictly prohibited., -
