What you need to know
What it is
A short agreement that extends an existing Michigan lease term while keeping prior clauses in force unless amended.
When to use it
When the same tenants stay past the original end date and you want documented renewal terms.
Why it matters
Verbal extensions create ambiguity on rent, deposits, and notice periods — especially if disputes arise later.
Common mistakes
- Extending without referencing the original lease
- Changing rent without a signed amendment
- Assuming month-to-month after expiration without notice
State-specific note
If the extension converts to month-to-month, Michigan notice rules for termination and rent changes still apply.
Michigan security deposit rule for a residential tenancy: limit: 1.5 months' rent; return deadline: 30 days. Max 1.5 months' rent. Within 30 days after the tenant moves out the landlord must mail an itemized notice of damages with the balance; without it the full deposit is due immediately. The tenant must give a forwarding address within 4 days of moving out. Since September 21, 2026 (2026 PA 102) the balance may be paid electronically within 10 days after the notice (MCL 554.602, 554.609, 554.610).
