    Default Abandoned Rental Property

    My question involves an eviction in the state of: Michigan

    I have a renter that has written a bad check, hasn't paid rent in 4 months and now has left the property with all of her belongings still there for over 1 month. I can't reach her to leave any notices. What do I do?

    The Michigan Landlord Tenant Guide does not seem to cover abandonment of the unit.

    However, since the tenant is also 4 months delinquent on the rent, an eviction proceeding would be resolved in your favor. It appears not to take very long, the steps for a Michigan residential eviction are here.

    Do note that once you win the order for eviction, you'll still have to file for a Writ of Restitution in order to authorize physical removal of the tenants belongings.

    I can back up that michigan's eviction laws are streamlined.

    Some friends of mine unfortunately just went through the process. It was wicked quick compared to a lot of stories I'd heard. Something like 2 weeks +/- a few days depending on court load.
