How Landlord-Tenant Document Preparation Works in Michigan
Residential eviction (summary proceeding) cases are filed in the District Court for the city or township where the rental property is located. We prepare the DC 102 Complaint, DC 104 Summons, and proof of service in your court's format.
Typical filing fees: ≈ $45 filing fee + service costs (set by the court) (set by the court, not by us)
- • 7-day Demand for Possession is required for non-payment of rent.
- • 30-day Notice to Quit is required for month-to-month or holdover tenancies.
- • Security deposits are capped at 1.5 months' rent in Michigan.
- • Order of Eviction (DC 105) typically becomes enforceable 10 days after entry.
- • Wayne County (36th District) — Detroit; high volume, structured docket.
- • Macomb County district courts — local pretrial conference required in many courts.
- • Oakland County — multiple district courts; check your specific township court.
- • St. Clair County (72nd District) — Port Huron / Marysville filing.
Procedures and fees vary by county and may change. We prepare documents based on the information you provide; final filing acceptance is determined by the court.
