Understand Your Rights as a Mobile Home Tenant in Michigan

Michigan law provides protections for mobile home park residents — including those who own their home but rent the land. Many landlords use intimidation, surprise rent hikes, or improper notices to push tenants out illegally. We help you stand your ground with experienced legal guidance. Our lawyers can help you with mobile home eviction law in Michigan.

We Assist With:

• Evictions without court orders or proper notice
• Retaliation for reporting safety or code violations
• Sudden, unlawful lot rent increases
• Unsafe park conditions (water, sewer, power)
• Park rule violations and lease disputes
• Unlicensed or unregulated mobile home parks

Illegal Mobile Home Evictions: What You Need to Know

Under Michigan’s Mobile Home Commission Act and landlord-tenant law, park owners must follow strict eviction procedures. Many skip legal steps, hoping tenants don’t know their rights. If you received a 7-day notice, no formal summons, or verbal threats — it may be unlawful.

Signs of an Illegal Eviction:

• No written notice served properly
• Eviction threats without court involvement
• Utilities disconnected to force you out
• Retaliation after complaints to inspectors or city
• Short notice rent hikes or rule changes

If you’re facing any of the above, speak to an advocate immediately. Emergency legal action may stop the eviction before it proceeds.

🧠 Frequently Asked Questions About Mobile Home Evictions in Michigan

❓ Can a mobile home park evict me even if I own the trailer?

Yes, but only through a formal court process. Park owners cannot legally force you out without a judge’s order, even if you only rent the land.

❓ How much notice does a mobile home park have to give before eviction?

Typically 7 to 30 days, depending on the reason. Notices must follow Michigan statute and be properly delivered — not just stuck on your door.

❓ What are my rights if the mobile home park is unlicensed?

Unlicensed parks are in violation of state law. That can make evictions and enforcement efforts invalid or legally challengeable.

❓ Can the park raise my rent suddenly to force me out?

No — Michigan requires advance written notice. Sudden rent increases may be unlawful, especially if they come after tenant complaints.

❓ What if the landlord shuts off my utilities?

This is considered constructive eviction — and it’s illegal. You may be entitled to legal relief or emergency restoration services.

❓ Do I have to move my home if I’m evicted?

Not right away. Moving a mobile home is complicated and costly. You may have options to delay, negotiate, or recover costs.

❓ I got a “7-day notice” — what should I do right now?

Do not leave. That’s the first step of the process, not the end. Call an advocate immediately to protect your rights.

❓ How much does it cost to fight a mobile home eviction?

We offer fair, upfront pricing — often flat-fee based — and in urgent cases, we work with limited budgets or offer consultations.

❓ What if English isn’t my first language or I’m elderly?

You’re not alone. We assist seniors, immigrants, and disabled tenants and can help communicate with the court system and park managers.

❓ Can I file a complaint against the mobile home park?

Yes. We’ll help you report violations to LARA, city code enforcement, or civil rights authorities when appropriate.
