Under MCL 600.5775, a mobile home park tenancy may not be ended without just cause. Just cause means one or more of: using the site for an unlawful purpose; breaking the lease or a park rule adopted under the lease that is reasonably related to the health, safety or welfare of the park, its employees or tenants, other tenants' quiet enjoyment, or the physical condition or appearance of the park or its homes; violating rules issued under section 6 of the mobile home commission act (MCL 125.2306); intentionally injuring park staff or other tenants or intentionally damaging park or tenant property; violating a local ordinance, state law or government rule about mobile homes; paying rent or other charges late on 3 or more occasions in any 12-month period, where each time the owner or operator served a written demand for possession for nonpayment under MCL 600.5714(1)(a) containing the notice 'Notice: Three or more late payments of rent during any 12-month period is just cause to evict you.' and the tenant did not pay within the stated time (the tenant may still raise meritorious defenses to the late payments); conduct in the park that is a substantial annoyance to other tenants or the park, after notice and an opportunity to cure; failing to keep the home or site in reasonable condition consistent with the park's aesthetics; condemnation of the park; changes in the use or substantive nature of the park; or public health and safety violations by the tenant. The section does not bar changing the rent or tenancy terms after a written site lease ends or expires.
