Michigan Month-to-Month Rental Agreement

A Michigan month-to-month rental agreement is a flexible rental arrangement between a landlord and tenant for residential property that does not have a specified end date. This type of lease agreement remains in effect indefinitely until either the landlord or tenant decides to terminate it by providing notice to the other party.

It’s important to note that after the tenant has resided on the property for more than thirty days, they are entitled to the same protections afforded under Chapter 554 (Real and Personal Property). This means that tenants have certain rights, such as the right to a livable and safe dwelling and protection against unlawful eviction or discrimination.
