HB 4983 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Civil procedure: evictions; redemption time period for tenancy; modify. Amends sec. 5744 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.5744).

HB 4983 modifies Michigan's eviction timeline by extending the waiting period before a landlord can remove a tenant after a court judgment. It increases the standard waiting period from 10 to 14 days for most evictions, and adds a longer 90-day or 6-month waiting period (depending on payment progress) when evicting tenants who failed to pay for a home purchase contract. The bill also clarifies that tenants can stop eviction by paying the owed amount plus costs within the waiting period. This directly affects tenants facing eviction and landlords seeking possession under the Revised Judicature Act.
