A bill to amend 1846 RS 66, entitled “Of estates in dower, by the curtesy, and general provisions concerning real estate,” by amending section 34 (MCL 554.134), as amended by 2012 PA 140.
The bill proposes changes to the notice periods required for terminating different types of tenancies:
Estates at will or by sufferance can be terminated with one month's notice, or a notice period equal to the rent payment interval if it is less than three months.
For tenants who fail to pay rent, landlords can terminate the tenancy with a 14-day written notice.
Year-to-year tenancies require a notice that takes effect one year after it is served.
In cases where a tenant or someone associated with them is involved in controlled substance activities on the premises, the landlord can terminate the tenancy with a 24-hour notice, provided a formal police report has been filed.
