August 3, 2016, Introduced by Rep. Lucido and referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
A bill to amend 1846 RS 66, entitled
"Of estates in dower, by the curtesy, and general provisions
concerning real estate,"
by amending section 34 (MCL 554.134), as amended by 2012 PA 140.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 34. (1) A landlord may adjust rent or other terms of a
tenancy at will or by sufferance by giving 1 month's notice to the
tenant. If the rent reserved in a lease is payable at periods of
less than 3 months, the time of notice is sufficient if it is equal
to the interval between the times of payment. Notice is not void
because it states a day for the adjustment to take effect that does
not correspond to the conclusion or commencement of a rental
period. The adjustment takes effect at the end of a period equal in
length to the interval between times of payment.
(2)
(1) Except as provided otherwise in this section, an
estate at will or by sufferance may be terminated by either party
by giving 1 month's notice to the other party. If the rent reserved
in a lease is payable at periods of less than 3 months, the time of
notice is sufficient if it is equal to the interval between the
times of payment. Notice is not void because it states a day for
the termination of the tenancy that does not correspond to the
conclusion or commencement of a rental period. The notice
terminates the tenancy at the end of a period equal in length to
the interval between times of payment.
(3) (2)
If a tenant neglects or refuses to
pay rent on a lease
at will or otherwise, the landlord may terminate the tenancy by
giving the tenant a written 7-day notice to quit.
(4) (3)
A tenancy from year to year may be
terminated by
either party by a notice to quit, given at any time to the other
party.
The notice shall terminate terminates
the lease at the
expiration of 1 year from the time of the service of the notice.
(5) (4)
If a tenant holds over after a
lease is terminated
pursuant to a clause in the lease providing for termination because
the tenant, a member of the tenant's household, or other person
under the tenant's control has manufactured, delivered, possessed
with intent to deliver, or possessed a controlled substance on the
leased premises, the landlord may terminate the tenancy by giving
the tenant a written 24-hour notice to quit. This subsection
applies only if a formal police report has been filed alleging that
the person has unlawfully manufactured, delivered, possessed with
intent to deliver, or possessed a controlled substance on the
leased premises. For purposes of this subsection, "controlled
substance" means a substance or a counterfeit substance classified
in schedule 1, 2, or 3 pursuant to sections 7211 to 7216 of the
public health code, 1978 PA 368, MCL 333.7211 to 333.7216.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect 90 days
after the date it is enacted into law.
