    unless you find one for Michigan don't bother. We do things our way regardless what anybody else does. Its the michigan way.
    Courts in every state often look to other states' case decisions for guidance when they have no prior decisions of their own.

    Until Michigan courts step up with a decision there's no way of knowing what the Michigan "way" is.

    Meantime, I agree with the points you make except that this is not between the tenant and landlord, it's between the tenant and the bonding company. Sure, the landlord may have to justify his damages to the bonding company, and the tenant may have a dispute process available to him. The tenant may also have some protection from charges in excess of the bond amount, or not. No way of knowing any of this without reading the bond and its application and there may also be a contract between the bonding company and the landlord outlining the landlord's duties.

    Too many things are up in the air but I'll stick to my opinion.

    Getting back to the OP's question, he's got 44 more days to make sure he leaves the rental spotless and undamaged.
