Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill amends Michigan's Revised Judicature Act to change rules for evictions and property possession. It modifies what constitutes unlawful interference with a tenant's possession, outlines new conditions under which a property purchaser can inspect a foreclosed home, and revises the "good cause" reasons for which a landlord can evict a tenant, including changes to notice periods and specific circumstances like unpaid rent or property damage. The bill also updates procedures for issuing writs of restitution and defines "just cause" for terminating tenancies in mobile home parks.
