Security deposit money in eviction
Hello, I have a question specifically pertaining to MIchigan law. Who gets to keep the security deposit money under an eviction? Say, they have unpaid rent for 5 months, and by the time they were evicted it’s still unpaid, who gets to keep the security deposit money. In the tenant laws document, it says that the landlord can keep the security deposit money if:
1. Unpaid rent
2. Unpaid utilities
3. Damages that aren’t just wear and tear
But does the same apply for under an eviction?
