If there are any concerns with the property that are suspected to be causing a safety issue or potential damage to the property you can enter without notice.

@Atul Mohlajee not sure who your attorney is, but three of our attorneys approved our automatically renewing lease that requires tenant to give proper Notice so it does NOT auto-renewal.Michigan law also allows any length of Notice requirement, ours is 60 days.That aside, a judge can rule however they want, forcing the losing side to go through an expensive appeal process.Regarding the 1.5 SD, they are legally allowed to deduct any damages, then apply the rest to outstanding rent.My opinion is that the PMC should only be able to charge:1) Rent + lease utilities until a replacement tenant is found (Michigan statute)2) Whatever the lease contract states

They would still be responsible for repairing any damage above normal wear and tear.

Those who do not give a forwarding address generally are afraid of being served with a notice or lawsuit for the cost of damage beyond what their deposit covered. 

We do not replace cabinets or vanities without charging the tenant for the damages they caused.

It was an 8 unit building and it was a total disaster for all of the other tenants loud music, crack, heroin, property damage mad orgies etc...Evictions of this kind take forever and the local PD wasn't much help so we had to hire off duty police officers to work 3rd shift security till we got her out of there.  

We used to do pet deposits, but now we collect a one-time "pet fee" upfront that is designated for damage repair and cleaning on the back end.
