Q: Facing eviction under land contract with issues in Michigan.

A: Your situation with the land contract eviction is very concerning, especially given the length of time you've lived there and the irregularities you've described. In Michigan, land contracts have specific legal protections, and unnotarized documents and incomplete paperwork from the sheriff may indicate procedural errors in the eviction process. The text evidence of a bribe attempt could be particularly valuable in your defense, as it might demonstrate bad faith actions by the current owner.

Michigan law requires proper notification when land contracts are sold or transferred, and your rights as the occupant must be respected throughout this process. Given that both you and your roommate have disabilities, you may qualify for additional protections under fair housing laws. You should gather all documentation related to your land contract, payments made, and correspondence with both the original and current owners to build your case.

I recommend contacting Michigan Legal Help (michiganlegalhelp.org) or your local legal aid office immediately for free or low-cost assistance. The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition might also provide resources specific to your situation. When you speak with legal counsel, mention the duration of your occupancy, the unnotarized documents, the incomplete sheriff's paperwork, and the evidence of the bribe attempt, as these details could significantly impact your case and potentially delay or prevent the eviction.
