Frequently asked questions

How many days notice for nonpayment in Michigan?

7 days, per Mich. Comp. Laws § 554.134(2).

What happens after the notice period expires?

If the tenant hasn't paid or vacated, you may file the eviction case in court. Keep the served notice and proof of service — the court will require them.

Can the tenant stop the eviction by paying?

Payment in full within the notice period cures a pay-or-quit notice in nearly every state; accepting partial payment after the period may reset the process in some states.
