Michigan HB4986 updates the summary proceedings to recover possession of premises provision for landlords and tenants.

Michigan HB4986 amends the Michigan Compiled Laws to update the summary proceedings to recover possession of premises provision for landlords and tenants. This bill ensures that a tenancy or contract right to occupy housing in a project or facilities operated by any city, village, township, or other unit of local government cannot be terminated except for just cause. Just cause includes failure to comply with lease obligations, unlawful use of a unit, or maintaining unsafe conditions. This amendatory act takes effect 90 days after enactment, contingent on the passage of House Bill No. 4985.
