Sec. 5773. (1) The district court has jurisdiction under this chapter over proceedings for termination of tenancies in mobile home parks. (2) Section 5706 shall govern the venue of proceedings under this chapter.
Michigan Compiled Laws § 600.5773 establishes that the district court is the proper court to hear cases involving the termination of a tenancy in a mobile home park. It also directs that the rules for determining which specific court location (venue) handles such a case are set by § 600.5706. Together, these provisions define both the type of court and the geographic location where mobile home park eviction proceedings must be brought.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under MCL § 600.5773, a landlord or park operator seeking to terminate a mobile home park tenancy must file the proceeding in the district court, not a higher court. The venue—meaning which district court location is appropriate—is determined by the rules laid out in § 600.5706, which typically ties venue to where the property is located. Operators generally ensure their filings are made in the correct court and correct location to avoid procedural dismissals that could delay the process.

MCL § 600.5773 means that if a mobile home park operator initiates termination proceedings against a resident, that case must be heard in district court, and the proper location for that court is governed by § 600.5706. Tenants who receive notice of such a proceeding have the right to appear and respond in that district court. Those facing termination may benefit from contacting a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand available defenses and options within the district court process.
