A bill to amend 1961 PA 236, entitled “Revised judicature act of 1961,” by amending section 5714 (MCL 600.5714), as amended by 2014 PA 223.
HB 5386 seeks to amend the Revised Judicature Act of 1961, specifically section 5714, as previously amended by 2014 PA 223. This bill outlines conditions under which a person entitled to possession of premises may recover possession through summary proceedings. These conditions include failure to pay rent within 7 days of a demand, holding over premises after lease termination due to controlled substance violations confirmed by a police report, lease termination under various circumstances including the end of the lease term or by notice to quit, causing a serious health hazard or physical damage to the premises, and holding over after a notice to quit due to causing or threatening physical injury on the landlord's property. It also specifies exceptions related to federal housing regulations and situations involving the tenant or their household members. Additionally, the bill addresses situations of forcible entry, possession after legal redemption periods, and specific protections for tenants of government-operated housing and mobile home parks, ensuring tenancy termination is for just cause.
