I would have to review the various paperwork determine the legal aspects of this case. However, from your question, I can most certainly see that the landlord and yourself are no longer getting along and therefore your lease or rent agreement will not be renewed. Therefore, if the landlord is asking you to leave that might be the wisest and cheapest thing for you to do.

a 5 day notice is NOT an eviction.. he has to go to court file a lawsuit and get a court to order your eviction. However, if you tender payment to the Landlord and he will not have legal grounds to evict you. check out the Michigan landlord tenant handbook available for free from the state of Michigan.
