Evictions Handled Correctly, Start to Finish
When an eviction becomes necessary, we run the entire Michigan process — notice, filing, hearing, enforcement — legally, fast, and fully documented, so you're never left navigating the courts alone.

The eviction process, managed end to end
A Michigan eviction has specific steps and specific timelines, and missing one can reset the whole process. We handle each stage correctly the first time — and keep you informed at every turn.
Notice & Filing
When a tenant stops paying or violates the lease, the first move is a legally proper notice — demand for possession, notice to quit, or whatever the situation requires under Michigan law. We prepare and serve the correct notice on the right timeline, then file the complaint with the district court if the tenant doesn't cure. A notice that's the wrong form, served the wrong way, or given the wrong cure period can get a case thrown out before it starts. We don't take that risk.
Hearing & Judgment
We coordinate with the eviction attorney, make sure the documentation is in order — lease, payment history, notices served, correspondence — and appear or support appearance at the hearing. The goal is a clean judgment for possession and any money owed, obtained as quickly as the court calendar allows. You don't have to learn the court process; we walk it with you and translate what's happening into plain language at every turn.
Enforcement & Turnover
Once the court issues an order of eviction and the appeal period passes, we coordinate with the court officer to carry out the physical eviction if the tenant hasn't left. Then we secure the property, assess any damage, reconcile the security deposit against the judgment, and get the unit ready to re-list. The property doesn't sit empty while you figure out the next step — we're already moving it back to rent-ready.
Documentation & Compliance
Every notice, filing, court date, and order is logged against the property record. You get a complete, dated paper trail of the entire process — what was filed, when, and what the court decided. That record matters if the tenant disputes the deposit, if a future lender asks, or if you ever need to show the process was handled by the book. We keep it so you don't have to.
The Michigan eviction process, step by step
From the first notice to a rent-ready unit — the path a compliant eviction follows, and where we take over at each stage so you don't have to.
Notice Served
We prepare and serve the legally correct notice for the situation — nonpayment, lease violation, or holdover — on the timeline Michigan law requires. The clock starts the right way.
Court Filed
If the tenant doesn't cure or leave, we file the complaint with the district court and coordinate the attorney. The documentation package goes with it — lease, ledger, notices, everything the hearing needs.
Judgment Obtained
We support the hearing and work toward a judgment for possession and money owed. You're updated on the outcome the same day, in plain language — what was decided and what happens next.
Eviction & Turnover
After the appeal period, we coordinate the court officer if needed, secure the property, reconcile the deposit, and start the turn. The unit moves back toward rent-ready immediately.
Eviction is the part of property management owners dread most — and the part where silence from your manager makes it worse. We don't go dark. From the moment a notice is served, you know what's been filed, what the timeline is, when the hearing falls, and what the court decided. If a hearing gets adjourned or a tenant files an answer that changes the path, you hear it from us first — not from a surprise in the mail. The whole process, start to finish, lives in your owner portal alongside the rest of the property record.
This page describes our eviction management process, not legal advice. Eviction filings are handled by or coordinated with a licensed Michigan attorney. For questions about your specific situation, talk to us directly.
