Detroit eviction cases could be reshaped by court ruling
Outlier Media
November 5, 2026
On Oct. 21, three Michigan Court of Appeals judges unanimously ruled that a lease is invalid and unenforceable when a property lacks a required rental certificate.
The decision in the case, Skidmore v. Hayashi, involved a rental property in Oakland County. Attorneys who represent landlords and tenants in Detroit are preparing for immediate changes to the way evictions are handled at the 36th District Court, where landlord-tenant cases take place.
“It has the potential for being a game changer, being historic,” said Ted Phillips, executive director of United Community Housing Coalition, which represents Detroit tenants.
