    Michigan Rent Increase Notice

    Michigan sets no rent-increase notice period, so on a month-to-month tenancy an increase in practice needs at least the one-month termination notice, and during a lease rent can change only with the tenant's written consent or under a lease clause passing through tax, utility or insurance increases on 30 days' written notice (MCL 554.633(1)(l), 554.134(1)). The rent increase notice below is preset for Michigan: fill in your details, then print it or save it as a PDF.

    Rent control

    Michigan has no rent control, and state law bars local governments from controlling the rent charged for private residential property (MCL 123.411(2)).

    Notice to end a month-to-month tenancy

    Either party may end a Michigan month-to-month tenancy with one month's notice, or notice equal to the time between rent payments when rent is due more often, and the tenancy ends one full rental interval after the notice (MCL 554.134(1)).

    Statute requires '1 month's notice'; where rent is payable at intervals under 3 months, notice equal to the interval between payments is enough (e.g., one week for weekly rent), and the tenancy ends one full payment interval after notice. Year-to-year: notice ends the tenancy one year after service. Nonpayment: 7-day notice to quit.

    MCL 554.134 · checked October 27, 2026

    City and county rules can be stricter than state law, and your lease can require more than the statute does. Use whichever rule gives the tenant more time or protection.
