      Thoughts on MI Executive Order

      I was able to find a copy of the AG"s cease and desist and it is dated before EO 2020-54 that includes the new restriction of the demand for possession. Here is how it reads: As you know, on March 10, 2020, Governor Whitmer issued Executive Order 2020-4declaring a state of emergency across...

      Thoughts on MI Executive Order

      That's what I am confused about, does not appear that we can send the normal 7 day notice because that standard MI form includes demand for possession which is now prohibited. But my question is, what if it was already sent prior to the change? I don't want to be turned into the AG for something...

      Jurisdiction Question

      He is cleaver (I guess) because he knows that the tenants are the ones with the voting power so he caters to them and as a result, he keeps getting voted in. Landlords launched a whole campaign against his last re-election campaign. There were signs in yards, door to door knocking, highway...

      Jurisdiction Question

      I agree! The judge I speak of was minutes from being held in contempt of court when he blew off a 1 pm deadline given by the circuit court judge. He was being ordered to evict a tenant after he refused to rule on the case for months and he didn't want to change his ruling. It was really crazy...

      Jurisdiction Question

      I've had him in the past and although this is a small claims case, it stems from a landlord/tenant issue. He does not like to side against a tenant. He's smart (for lack of better terms) and knows that the landlords can't vote against him when we don't live in the city. But he knows the tenants...

      Jurisdiction Question

      New agreement was just an addendum to the existing lease agreement which does address attorney's fees and states that the tenant would be responsible for attorney's fees (assuming the landlord prevails).

      Jurisdiction Question

      Only thought about general civil because I could use my attorney who can't get this specific judge. Going through small claims means I will certainly get him unless I can file in another city.

      Jurisdiction Question

      $2700. Once I get a judgement, collecting from her main job is easy. Issued a garnishment to this company before with no issues. She's been there many years so I don't expect her to go anywhere.

      Jurisdiction Question

      What is the name of your state? MI A previous tenant signed an agreement to pay a certain amount to break her lease 2 months into a 12 month agreement and she has failed to make any payments.
