Michigan Residential Lease Agreement

In Michigan, both landlords and tenants must provide at least 30 days' written notice to end a month-to-month tenancy. For tenancies lasting more than one year, landlords must provide 60 days' notice while tenants still only need to give 30 days.

Yes, Michigan landlords can charge late fees, but they must be reasonable and specified in the lease agreement. Typically, late fees cannot exceed 5-10% of the monthly rent. The lease must clearly state when rent is due and when late fees apply.

Michigan requires several disclosures including: lead-based paint (for pre-1978 properties), mold information, bedbug history, flood zone location, military ordnance locations, and information about registered sex offenders in the area. Our template includes all required disclosures.

Michigan landlords must provide at least 24 hours' written notice before entering a rental unit, except in emergencies. Entry must be during normal business hours and for valid reasons such as repairs, inspections, or showing the unit to prospective tenants or buyers.
