Michigan Rent increase notice

How much notice does a landlord need to give to raise the rent in Michigan?

The Michigan Legislature's guide (Rev. 3/2026) says landlords generally cannot change lease terms mid-lease without the tenant's consent. One exception: if the lease includes a clause allowing it, the landlord may raise rent with 30 days' written notice to cover higher property taxes, utilities or insurance premiums.
