Mich. Comp. Laws § § 600.5783
Judgment for possession; right of tenant to sell mobile home on site; conditions.
Operative Text
Sec. 5783. Every judgment for possession resulting from an action to terminate a tenancy in a mobile home park for just cause shall set forth the right of a tenant to sell a mobile home on site, the conditions of that right, and the consequences of a tenant's failure to meet those conditions, all as prescribed in section 5781.
Under MCL § 600.5701 et seq. § 600.5783, whenever a Michigan court issues a judgment for possession ending a mobile home park tenancy for just cause, that judgment must include specific written information: the tenant's right to sell their mobile home while it remains on the lot, the conditions that govern that right, and what happens if those conditions are not met. The details of those rights and conditions are set out in the companion provision, § 600.5781. This requirement ensures that the court's order itself serves as notice to the tenant of their sell-in-place protections.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Mobile home park operators in Michigan should be aware that under § 600.5783, a just-cause eviction judgment is not simply an order to vacate — it must affirmatively spell out the tenant's statutory right to sell the mobile home on site, along with the governing conditions and consequences of noncompliance. Compliant park operators generally cooperate with the court process to ensure judgments are properly formed and do not take steps that would interfere with a tenant's sell-in-place right as described in § 600.5781. Operators who understand these requirements are better positioned to administer park transitions in a manner consistent with Michigan law.

Under MCL § 600.5783, if a Michigan court enters a judgment for possession against you in a mobile home park just-cause eviction, the judgment itself must state your right to sell your mobile home while it remains on the site, the conditions attached to that right, and the consequences if those conditions are not satisfied. If a judgment you receive does not include this information, that omission may be relevant to how the order is challenged or interpreted — tenant-rights organizations and legal aid offices familiar with Michigan mobile home park law can help you understand what § 600.5781 requires in your situation. Reviewing the judgment carefully as soon as it is issued is a general practice that allows tenants to identify whether all required disclosures are present.
