The bill amends section 34 of the 1846 RS 66 regarding estates in dower and general provisions concerning real estate in Michigan. It specifies that an estate at will or by sufferance can be terminated by either party with one month's notice, with adjustments made for leases where rent is paid at intervals of less than three months. Additionally, the bill changes the notice period for landlords to terminate a tenancy due to non-payment of rent from 7 days to 14 days.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies the termination process for tenancies from year to year, stating that a notice to quit will terminate the lease at the end of one year from the notice's service. It also addresses situations where a tenant holds over after a lease is terminated due to drug-related offenses, allowing landlords to issue a 24-hour notice to quit if a formal police report has been filed. The term "person" is replaced with "individual" in this context, and the definition of "controlled substance" is updated to reference specific sections of the public health code.
