Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Michigan

Working & Residency

I applied for a job in my apartment complex Leasing Office and they want to hire me. However, they say if I ''quit'' ''get fired'' or ''let go'' for any reason I'd have to move out of my apartment. I have already lived here a year and renewed my 2nd year lease. How can they kick me out simply because I may not like it or find something better and give them a notice after working there whatever period of time. That does not seem fair or sounds legal at all!! It's not like I'd be a threat to the office if I still lived here after working for them. Is there any grounds to this?

Seeking Advice!!

Re: Working & Residency

If I understand you correctly, you have signed a new lease. If that is correct and you don't sign an addendum or a separate agreement tying your tenancy to your employment, I don't see how they could force you out. If they insist on you signing an addendum or new agreement as a term of your employment, I'd reconsider taking the job. For more info, please contact my office at (248)851-3171.
