Michigan park problems, computed
The three park questions for Michigan, answered from the state code itself: how much lot rent can go up (and what notice you must get), what happens when the park closes, and whether residents get a chance to buy the park when it sells. State law only — local ordinances are outside this dataset's scope, and the page says so wherever that matters.
Michigan has no statewide cap on how much lot rent can go up. No statewide cap on the amount of a mobile home park rent increase was found in the Mobile Home Commission Act (MCL 125.2301 et seq.) or in MCL 600.5775. MCL 600.5775(3) expressly preserves the other side of the bargain: the just-cause rule 'does not prohibit a change of the rental payments or the terms or conditions of tenancy in a mobile home park following the termination or expiration of a written lease agreement for the mobile home site.' Rent can change at lease end; the tenancy itself cannot be ended without just cause.
No park-specific rent-increase notice period was verified in the state code for this dataset — your lease and the general tenancy rules carry the timing.
Rule: MCL 600.5775(3). No park-specific rent-increase notice period was located in the primary text reviewed, so noticeDays is null rather than guessed.

No closure-notice period was found in the state code for Michigan in our verified dataset — this page will not borrow a number from another state or a summary site.
Closure reaches a Michigan park tenant as a just-cause ground: 'changes in the use or substantive nature of the mobile home park' are just cause for termination under MCL 600.5775(2)(j), and condemnation is just cause under 600.5775(2)(i). No park-closure-specific notice period was located in the primary text reviewed, so noticeDays is null rather than borrowed from the pending-legislation coverage seen in news reports.
No state relocation fund for park closures was found in Michigan's code in our verified dataset.
Michigan has no park purchase-opportunity law in the national NCLC survey (September 2026). That is a sourced fact, not a gap in our reading: the survey covers every state's manufactured-home community purchase law, and Michigan is not in it. When a park sells here, residents' rights come from the lease, the notice rules, and the eviction framework on this page — not from a purchase window.

Michigan is a just-cause state: 'The tenancy of a tenant in a mobile home park shall not be terminated unless there is just cause for the termination' (MCL 600.5775(1)). The statute defines just cause in 600.5775(2), including unlawful use of the site, failure to comply with the lease or reasonable park rules tied to health, safety, quiet enjoyment or park condition, intentional injury or property damage, failure to comply with mobile home laws or ordinances, three or more late rent payments in 12 months after written demands, substantial annoyance after notice and a chance to cure, condemnation, and changes in the use or substantive nature of the park.
Rule: MCL 600.5775(1)-(2)
