In Michigan, living with a felon does not automatically prohibit you from owning a firearm, especially if it is for work-related purposes such as becoming an armed security guard. However, strict precautions must be taken to ensure that the felon does not have access to the firearm, as this could... View More
My sister served me with a eviction papers after my mom passed away and the courts ordered the eviction and now my lawyer is sending it the house in the probate. Does that cancel out my eviction do I have to leave my house?
answered on Mar 21, 2024
More information is needed to answer this question. It is not apparent whether your sister had the authority to sue for eviction. Was she the owner of the house? Whether the probate action will result in different ownership is another question. Were that action to result in the recognition of... View More

Possibly. I think a judge could find that the text communication is a sufficient writing. The other issue is that the request isn't really an amendment to the lease; it sounds like he's asking to terminate the lease.

Based on the details you've provided, it seems that your landlord's refusal to turn on the air conditioning may be a violation of your lease agreement and your right to a habitable living space. Here are a few points to consider:

Our apartment lease in Michigan ended and we were told we needed to renew or we'd be subject to MTM fees. The lease agreement states there is a "one-time holdover fee when the lease contract renews to month-to-month," but no monthly fees are mentioned (I paid this holdover fee.) I... View More

In Michigan, the written lease terms continue when holding over — however — the monthly payment can change with 30 day’s notice. They can increase fees or monthly rent at any time given that notice. It’s why month to month leases are generally a bad idea for anything more than a month or two ….

answered on Feb 1, 2024
I'm confused by your question. It sounds like you are trying to appeal an eviction proceeding before a final order has been entered by the trial court (e.g., the district court). That is likely why the circuit court told you your filing was premature.
