3 day or Pay for Month to Month Tenants

[Nicole S.]

I have 2 month to month tenants that are two months behind on the rent in Michigan.  Does it really do me any good to give them a 3 day to pay or quit notice?  Or should I just give them the 30 days notice required for month to month?  Can you really get them to move in 3 days or is it easier to give them the 30 days.

Just as others have said. Yes the 7 day notice is worth it. Just because you tell them they have 30 days doesn’t mean they will actually move. You told them to pay rent and they are not doing that. So what makes you think they will listen to a 30 day notice. Hopefully they will pay you and move out but you are more than likely going to need the help of a court to get them out. Our rent is due on the first if we don’t get it the 7 day notice is mailed. It shows them we are not the type to play around.
