Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Michigan
Proof of Service -- letter undeliveried
What is sufficient evidence for attempted delivery of notice via us mail. I have mailed by united states first-class postage, return receipt requested, a 30 day notice to end tenancy. However, the letter was returned to me undelivery. The post office left a notice at the landlord to pick-up the letter at the post office but the letter was left unclaimed. A second attempt was made to delivery it. (Delivery was attempted twice) After about two week it was sent back to me. I did move out though and the landlord did a walk through and move-out checklist inventory in my presence. However once again when I tried to mail notice of forwarding address, as required by law, I ran into the same problem as stated above for the second time. It has now been over 32 days since I moved out and the landlord has not corresponded to of receive my letters of notices.
What does the court consider sufficient attempts to inform the landlord of my forwarding address as required by law. So that I may receive my security deposit in court case. I have the undeliveried letters with postage time stamps afixed to it.

Re: Proof of Service -- letter undeliveried
If you sent the mailings to the last known address that the landlord provided to you, then you have sufficient proofs to represent to the court that you have fulfilled your obligations.
