Bill overview
This bill modifies the process for eviction in Michigan by adjusting the time period for a tenant’s ‘redemption’ – their right to regain possession of a property after an eviction judgment. Specifically, it clarifies that if a judgment for possession is based on nonpayment of rent or a breach of a purchase contract, a writ of restitution (allowing the eviction to proceed) won’t be issued until the outstanding debt is paid and any breaches are corrected. This change aims to provide more time for tenants to remedy the situation before being forcibly removed from their homes.
