Michigan Month-to-Month Lease Agreement

Minimum Termination: To terminate a month-to-month lease, the landlord or tenant must submit written notice equal to the interval between rent payments (§ 554.134). Since rent is usually paid monthly, terminating the lease effectively requires one month’s notice.

Increasing Rent: Michigan has no statewide cap on rent increases and prohibits local governments from enacting their own rent-control ordinances (§ 123.411(2)). Landlords must provide one full rental period’s written notice (typically one month) before a rent increase can take effect (§ 554.134).
