Michigan governor extends eviction moratorium

State Issues Covid-19 Michigan Evictions Mortgages

On June 11, the Michigan governor issued Executive Order 2020-118, which extends the state’s eviction moratorium, previously covered here, through June 30. During this period, a person may not be removed or excluded from leased residential premises or residential premises held under a forfeited executory contract, subject to certain exceptions. The executive order also stays any statutory limits on Michigan courts’ ability to adjourn any proceedings, toll any redemption periods or limitations periods, or extend any deadlines until 30 days after the restrictions on eviction expire.
