Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Michigan

Re: Complaint, NonPayment of Rent

Once form 102A is filed, the landlord will have to obtain a summons and serve you with the complaint.

As to the damage to the property, this will be another issue to litigate. I discuss issues related to landlord / tenant law and especially the security deposit and the procedure related to collecting on the deposit for damages, at my website at www.lawrefs.com.

Re: Complaint, NonPayment of Rent

You would have to send out a mandatory notice to the new address within 30 days if they give you a forwarding address within 4 days of moving. In that notice you must show how the security deposit was applied and demand the remaining damages. After that, you can sue for the remainder.
