Someone please explain to me how it is a lawmaker can rewrite landlord tenant and contract law.  Seriously.  Once judicial determination is made on the breech of contractual arrangement, the tenant, being found responsible for the breech must move out.  Why must the landlord take on financial burdens of a storage unit, for an indefinite amount of time, when a court has determined there are no outstanding obligations to the tenant?  This is when a tenant would reach out to family, friends or organizations to store any property or even sell it.  Would this also apply to businesses?  As for the outstanding storage bill, that looks like another court case.  When you look at it, the tenant was evicted for nonpayment of rent, so what makes one even come up with the concept that there will be reimbursement on the storage bill?

 Tenants take three to four months to get out and sometimes a lot more. They should take the responsibility to have thier belongings moved to another location if they want to keep them. Landlords are already at a great loss with non paid rent, court costs, servers fees, and shariff move out fees. Not to mention any damages the tenants skip on. We're in the rental business, not a free storage business. Talking about regulations that hurt small businesses....this one gets 5 stars. How about the person that came up with this idea purchasing a large storage complex we can send tenants belongings to and they pick up the costs if they're so concerned.

This bill is a fine example of the quality lawmakers we have working for our great state. Please review her other bills Tusgkee Airman Highway, I had to evict someone and watch the neighbors pick through their canned food. Our lawmakers could end this easily, however they refuse to make Michigan a Business friendly enviorment, bringing the Businesses to Michigan is the Key to put Michigan back to work. Its simple Michigan is not in a Growth enviorment, it needs a kickstart . and all they think of is dumpsters and re-naming I-75 !!!!!!!
