Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Michigan

Leaving without notice.

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan

I rent a room on a month by month basis in my landlord/roommate's condo. I am leaving at the end of the month without giving him any notice. Long story, involving him entering my room without permission....inadequate locks on doors....etc..

Can he retaliate against me? There is no written agreement of any sort.

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan.

Re: Leaving without notice.

You do not need a written lease for a month to month tenancy. You do have a month to month lease obligating you to 30 days notice of your termination of tenancy. Vacating early could cause you to wind up in court where you would have counter-claims for breach of lease against the landlord.
