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, if a tenant fails to pay rent, the landlord is required to provide a 14-day notice to quit instead of the previously mandated 7-day notice.

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 termination due to illegal activities related to controlled substances, allowing landlords to issue a 24-hour notice to quit if a formal police report has been filed. The definition of "individual" is updated to replace "person," and the language regarding controlled substances is refined to reference specific sections of the public health code.
