What you need to know

What it is

A written notice informing Michigan tenants of a rent change with the timing and terms required for enforceability.

When to use it

Before raising rent on a renewal or month-to-month tenancy — never increase mid-term on a fixed lease without agreement.

Why it matters

Improper notice can delay your increase by months or invite disputes. Michigan timing depends on tenancy type.

Common mistakes

  • Giving too short notice for month-to-month tenancies
  • Raising rent during a fixed term without addendum
  • Not delivering notice in writing

State-specific note

Michigan generally requires adequate notice for month-to-month tenancies; verify Detroit and other local rules if applicable.

Frequently asked questions

  • Notice periods depend on tenancy type and local rules — our template uses Michigan-standard timing.
  • Generally yes for non-rent-controlled units, with proper notice. Check local ordinances.
