Hi, I live in Michigan and I'm actually trying to find out some legal information for a friend of mine.
Here is the scope: My friend, who is a homeowner, lived with this girl for over 7 years. They never married. They separated app. 10 months ago and since she didn't have a place to live, she moved back with her dad and he agreed that he'd keep the furniture she had bought throughout the years at his house (and her three dogs) until she found a bigger place. The problem is that she has not done anything to find a new place and she is acting all crazy because she wants to get together with him again but he is already seeing somebody. He says he found out he cannot just throw her stuff out or change the locks because it is against the law. He already e.mailed her kind of an "eviction notice" and gave her 30 days and she did not comply. He is at the point that he wants to sell his house just to get rid of psycho ex but I'm telling him not to do that. I just want to know if there is actually a law that prevents him from putting her stuff in a storage facility and changing the locks. I just don't want him to do it and get in trouble because there happens to be a law against it. I don't think there is a common law in Michigan but maybe living for more than 7 years together gives her certain rights.
Thanks in advance.
M.
