CREATION OF THE LANDLORD-TENANT RELATIONSHIP CHAPTER 1. NATURE AND DURATION OF LANDLORD-TENANT RELATIONSHIP § 1.5 Periodic Tenancy Mich.2025. Quot. in conc. op., com. (i) quot. in ftn. to conc. op. Landlord initiated eviction proceedings against tenant who lived in a townhome for 14 years under a series of one-year leases. The trial court rejected tenant's affirmative defense that landlord sought to evict her in violation of the retaliatory- eviction statute primarily as retribution after she helped form a tenant's union, finding that the statute was inapplicable because the parties had a fixed-term lease that had expired before landlord initiated the eviction proceedings, rather than a periodic or month-to-month tenancy. After the court of appeals affirmed, this court reversed and remanded for further proceedings. In highlighting the issues that necessitated further consideration on remand, the concurring opinion explained that the lease did not self-terminate and could, under Restatement Second of Property: Landlord and Tenant § 1.5, provide for a combination tenancy that started out as a fixed-term lease and later became a periodic lease upon landlord's failure to renew the fixed term, under which the retaliatory-eviction statute could be applicable.
