The bill amends section 34 of the 1846 RS 66 regarding the termination of tenancies in Michigan. It specifies that an estate at will or by sufferance can be terminated by either party with a 1-month notice, which is now clarified to be a "1-month" notice instead of "1 month's." Additionally, if rent is payable in intervals of less than three months, the notice period must match the payment interval, and the notice is valid even if it does not align with the rental period's start or end. The bill also introduces a provision allowing landlords to terminate a tenancy with a 7-day notice if a tenant fails to pay rent.

Furthermore, the bill outlines that a tenancy from year to year can be terminated by either party with a notice that takes effect one year after it is served. It also allows landlords to issue a 24-hour notice to quit if a tenant or their household member is involved in drug-related activities on the premises, provided a police report has been filed. Lastly, for tenancies in mobile home parks, the bill mandates a minimum notice period of 180 days for termination, emphasizing that such tenancies can only be terminated for just cause as per the revised judicature act.
