SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS

We represent landlords, both commercial and individual, in enforcing their rights under leases. Common problems include non-payment of rent and holding over beyond a tenancy. In these cases, our attorneys will quickly and efficiently bring an action in court to remove the tenants. We offer competitive rates to our retained landlord clients.

RESIDENTIAL LEASING

Michigan’s laws for residential leases are very strict and pro-tenant. If you are a landlord leasing residential property, you need to ensure that your leases comply with the law. Our attorneys can design a customized lease or review your lease to make sure it complies with the law. In addition, we continually monitor the law and can update you with necessary changes to your leasing documents to ensure that your lease can be enforced and that rent will be collectible.
