What's a Michigan notice to pay rent or quit?
As a landlord, you do your best for your tenants—after all, your property is their home. And, of course, you understand that sometimes, life's unpredictable. But if your tenants stopped paying their rent, it might be time to remind them of their responsibilities gently. A notice to pay rent or quit lets rent past-due tenants know they must catch up on missing payments and how long they have to do so before you start the eviction process.
Here's the information you'll need to have handy to complete your Michigan notice to pay rent or quit:
- Who the tenant is: Have their name and contact information ready
- Who the landlord is: Have their information available
- Where the property is: Know the address
- How much is owed: Know how much rent the tenant owes plus any fees
