Housing: landlord and tenants; notice period to terminate a tenancy for nonpayment of rent; increase. Amends sec. 34 of 1846 RS 66 (MCL 554.134).

HB 4982 amends Michigan's landlord-tenant law (MCL 554.134) by increasing the notice period landlords must provide to tenants for nonpayment of rent from 7 days to 14 days. This change directly affects tenants who miss rent payments and landlords seeking to terminate leases for that reason. The bill modifies Section 34(2), requiring written notice that gives tenants 14 days to pay overdue rent before eviction proceedings can begin. Other termination notice periods (e.g., for lease violations or holdover) remain unchanged. The bill was introduced in September 2025 and referred to the Regulatory Reform Committee.
