Right to Sublet

In Michigan, tenants do not have the right to sublet their property by default. Whether or not a tenant can sublet depends on the terms of the lease. If subletting is not mentioned in the lease, landlords can grant written permission using a Landlord Consent Form.

Short-Term Tax

Rooms rented to a single tenant for a period of at least 30 days are not subject to the Michigan use tax.[1]
