Judge CHALLENGES Landlord Over 3 Months of Rent — Tenant Brings RECEIPTS!

Judge CHALLENGES Landlord Over 3 Months of Rent — Tenant Brings RECEIPTS! A Michigan eviction hearing takes an unexpected turn when a tenant challenges her landlord over unpaid rent—and brings payment receipts to court! In Grant and Maine LLC vs. Kenya F., the landlord seeks thousands of dollars in unpaid rent. But the tenant raises a major issue: the property's certificate of compliance had expired, potentially affecting whether rent could legally be collected during three disputed months. The judge examines the local rental ordinance, questions the landlord's attorney, and reviews the tenant's payment history. Then the attorney acknowledges that the tenant had paid the disputed May balance. After recalculating the charges and excluding June, July, and August rent, the parties reach an agreement. The court enters a judgment for approximately $3,035, including costs, with an October 31, 2026 payment-or-move deadline. Did the judge handle this landlord-tenant dispute fairly?
