Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Michigan

I am on a month to month lease in Genesee County and gave notice to vacate on Jan 6th, 2014 to move on or by Feb 9th, 2014. There was no month to month agreement in place. The landlord is requesting that I pay the full month of February or a double daily rate for 10 days of proration. Is this legal?

It depends on what type of lease agreement you had--e.g. was it 6 months, a year, etc? And mainly, it depends on what the written lease states or what the agreement was. If you overstayed your lease and you didn't agree to a new term, then it automatically reverts to a month to month lease.
