Protecting Landlords & Property Owners in Detroit

From standard residential leases to complex commercial agreements, we ensure every clause works in your favor.

Why Professional Lease Review Matters

Most landlords use generic lease templates downloaded from the internet. These one-size-fits-all documents often contain unenforceable clauses, miss critical Michigan-specific protections, and leave property owners vulnerable in court.

Attorney Kenneth Demers reviews every lease line-by-line, identifying gaps and strengthening your legal position. Whether you own one rental unit or an entire portfolio, a properly drafted lease is your first line of defense.

Common Questions

Lease Contracts FAQ — Michigan

Do I really need a lawyer to draft a lease?▼

While it's not legally required, a professionally drafted lease saves you significantly in the long run. Generic templates often contain unenforceable clauses or miss critical Michigan-specific protections like the Truth in Renting Act. A single missed clause can cost thousands in court.

What should a Michigan residential lease include?▼

At minimum, a Michigan residential lease should include: rent amount and due date, security deposit terms (MCL 554.601-616), maintenance responsibilities, entry notice requirements, lead paint disclosure (for pre-1978 buildings), holding over provisions, utility responsibility, and clear termination/eviction procedures.

Can I use the same lease for all my rental properties?▼

We strongly recommend property-specific leases. Different property types (single-family vs. multi-unit, residential vs. commercial) have different legal requirements. A lease for a Detroit apartment building needs different provisions than one for a suburban home.

How much does a professional lease review cost?▼

We offer free initial consultations to discuss your leasing needs. Contact our office at (313) 655-9214 to schedule your appointment and get a clear understanding of fees before any work begins.
