My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Michigan
Hello, long time watcher, first time poster. Quick little background. About 2-3 years ago my "friend" offered me to move in into his house if I accepted the help him with the dogs and any house projects he had. Basically I helped him with the house before I moved in, and then he offered since he had a spare room. I was about 20 at the time and going to school. I should note as well as long as I helped him with the house and dogs it was free rent, he just wanted to help me get a head start in my life, which I greatly appreciated at the time.
However now, 2+ years later, things changed. I've lent him $3,000+ because he lost his job first and now he is on a medical disability so he needed a little money. He promised me that he would pay me back (rent was still free) and not to worry, so I lent him the money. Some of it was cash but some was charged on the credit card, like a $1,800 fridge (he's a little outrageous). But now things have gotten a little worse, we are not in the best of friendship terms and he wants me out (although he hasn't fully said it yet). I can feel this coming so I have asked him about the money a few times, he said he would give it to me as soon as he got all of these disability checks, and now the story is taxes. But I'm afraid he will kick me out and leave me with nothing. Is there anything I can do? What if he denies me access to his house? There was no contract signed and it's his house. Any suggestions are much needed and greatly appreciated, thanks.
