Mich. Comp. Laws § § 600.5777
In-person conference with owner or operator of mobile home park.
Operative Text
Sec. 5777. Within 10 days of service of a demand for possession of premises for just cause, a tenant in a mobile home park shall have the right to request, by certified or registered mail to the owner or operator of the mobile home park at the address set forth in the demand, an in-person conference with the owner or operator of the mobile home park or representative of the owner or operator. If timely requested, the conference shall be held at the mobile home park and at a time and date established by the owner or operator but not later than 20 days after the tenant's request. The tenant may be accompanied by counsel at the conference. Nothing in this section shall affect the owner's or operator's right to commence summary proceedings pursuant to the demand for possession.
Under MCL § 600.5701 et seq. § 600.5777, when a mobile home park tenant receives a demand for possession based on just cause, the law gives that tenant a window of 10 days to request a face-to-face meeting with the park's owner, operator, or their representative. If the request is made on time and by certified or registered mail, the conference must take place at the mobile home park within 20 days of the request, at a time set by the owner or operator. Importantly, this conference right does not pause or eliminate the owner's or operator's ability to pursue formal eviction proceedings based on the original demand.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under MCL § 600.5701 et seq. § 600.5777, owners and operators of mobile home parks who issue a demand for possession for just cause should be prepared to receive a timely conference request from the tenant via certified or registered mail. If such a request arrives within 10 days of service, a compliant operator schedules the in-person meeting at the park within 20 days of that request. Operators generally document the scheduling and conduct of the conference while understanding that their right to continue summary proceedings under the demand for possession remains intact throughout this process.

MCL § 600.5701 et seq. § 600.5777 gives mobile home park tenants who receive a just-cause demand for possession the right to request an in-person conference with the owner, operator, or their representative within 10 days of being served. This request must be sent by certified or registered mail to the address listed on the demand, and the tenant is entitled to bring an attorney or other counsel to the meeting. Tenants who believe this right has been denied or improperly handled may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Michigan mobile home park law to understand available options.
