QUESTION

Can we be evicted on a land contract?

Asked on Dec 04th, 2021 on Real Estate - Michigan
More details to this question:
We have a land contract for the last almost 3 years. We still owe partial rent from last month and will owe again on the 15th. We told seller we will have the money next week and she stated if it is not in the bank tomorrow she is going to file for eviction. Is it that easy for her?

Much depends on what exactly the land contract says. Most land contracts provide that, so long as you reinstate, the seller cannot evict.  The best way to head off the problem is pay the seller back sooner rather than later. Most land contracts ALSO say that the buyer is responsible for any costs for eviction so you will probably wind up paying for the costs of the eviction also. The courts today are generally against putting someone out who is paying. Finding out exactly what your rights are is important. If you like, email me your land contract to g b at borman dot net and I will review it for you.
