Michigan Lease renewal / non-renewal notice

Last reviewed 2026-10-23

Does a landlord have to give notice before not renewing a lease in Michigan?

Either party may end a tenancy at will with 1 month's notice. If rent is paid more often than every 3 months, notice equal to the rent interval is enough. A year-to-year tenancy ends 1 year after a notice to quit. A fixed-term lease ends at the end of its term.
