Lanlord leases

[KathyB1546]

In the State if Michigan, does it state anywhere that I can refer to does a landlord have to give a copy of the lease at signing? Can it be sent at a later date?

Generally, contract law states that all parties that sign must get a copy of the document. There are exceptions such as if the tenant signs but the landlord is not available to sign, or the lease must be signed by a third party ie. Section 8 office, trustee, military office as rent payment guarantor, court appointed commissioner, bank etc. In those cases, the tenant signs first and the fuly executed lease agreement would be mailed to the tenant later.
