Michigan eviction steps
- Notice for unpaid rent. A written 7-day demand for possession for nonpayment. (MCL 554.134)
- File in court. If the tenant doesn't pay or move out, file the eviction case in the district court where the property is located (summary proceedings). Ask the clerk for current filing and service fees. (Michigan Legal Help)
- Hearing, judgment and removal. After the tenant is served, the court sets a hearing. If the landlord wins, removal happens only through the court's order or writ, carried out by a law enforcement officer. Exact timelines are in the court's self-help materials. (Michigan Legal Help)
