QUESTION

Land contract

Asked on Sep 08th, 2023 on Landlord and Tenant Law - Michigan
More details to this question:
Basically I stop paying my land contract because the owner demanded $20,000 more before he would give me the deed so I told him I’m not giving him another payment till we go to court and have a judge look at the land contract so we went to court in July the judge gave me 90 days to either pay it off or if I didn’t pay it the seller could take me back to court to evict me. So that gives me until October 18th in the meantime I was gone for a couple of weeks away from home. When I came back there was a police officer and the owner inside my house. When I walked in the owner said someone one in and stole your stuff so he decided to call the police. I told him how do you know what was stolen ?? He couldn’t answer me. I believe he did it. But anyway I told him to leave my house and he started yelling saying I’m not going anywhere. The officer came out of my house and told me to leave and meet him at the jail with my court papers. I did that the officer told me that he was going to warn him

This looks very much like an illegal lockout. The prior owner looks like he broke the law and may be liable for triple damages. This could be a very good case against them.   They appear to have violated the spirit and order of the court. VERY bad for them. To prevail, you will almost certainly need a lawyer. my email is gb@borman.net if you wish to be in touch.
