Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Michigan
Wrongful Evictions
If a person is charged with possession of Marijuana, but not on the property of a government housing where he, or she may reside (rent) can the housing commission evict that person under the MCL 600.5714, if they were not convicted felony but were convicted of a misdemeanor of less than three grams?

Re: Wrongful Evictions
The statute does provide that the violation must occur ON THE leased premises. It DOES NOT distinguish between felony and misdemeanor convictions but bases the eviction on the filing of a police report. BUT, if the housing is operated by a city, village, township, or other unit of local government, the tenant is not considered to be holding over under subsection unless the lease has already been terminated for just cause.
Bottom line, you may be entitled to more than 24 hours notice.
