MI HB4985

Establishes "good cause" eviction requirements, prohibiting landlords from recovering possession of rental premises without demonstrating specific justifications such as nonpayment of rent, substantial lease violations, illegal activity, property damage, or health hazards

Extends the notice period for nonpayment of rent from 7 days to 14 days before eviction proceedings can begin, and adds that rent increases cannot be "unreasonable" or imposed to circumvent tenant protections

Creates a rebuttable presumption that rent is unreasonable if it "grossly exceeds" fair market value of comparable rental units in the area

Allows landlords to recover possession for owner-occupancy of buildings with fewer than 3 units, requiring 30 days' written notice before lease end or 90 days' notice for month-to-month tenancies

Requires tenants receive 30 days to cure material lease violations (other than failure to surrender possession) before eviction proceedings can commence

Takes effect 90 days after enactment, contingent on passage of House Bill 4982
