My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Michigan
Long story short, yeah I know, everyone has a story right? Anyway I had surgery a little over a year ago and fell very ill due to blood clots. I alomost died and missed a bunch of work. Due to all of this I fell really behind on all my bills. Bills were not getting paid and I was doing everything I could to keep the rent paid until my lease was up but I failed.
My lease it now up but I've been unable to pay the last two months and I was taken to court and and the judge has given me 10 days to pay and stay or leave. with fees, I was over $2000 dollars behind (two moneys) and I do work but unfortunately I got sucked into some payday loans while I was off work and everything just got so screwed up.
I moved all of my stuff out within the 10 days and I know I'm still on the hook for the back rent but I do not have it right now. The landlord knows I'm out and basically said if I can't bring her a check for the full ammount today, she has to file a writ of eviction. Everything I'm reading for rental law in Michigan indicates that the writ is filed if the tentent refuses to pay for vacate. What is the purpose of the writ at this point, I'm already gone and sleeping on a friends couch bed!
What can I expect next? Sounds like the purpose of the writ is to have the judge order me removed and allow the police to remove me. Ummm again, I'm gone and they know that.
Confused in Michigan, HELP!
*UPDATE*
I just got off the phone with Legal Aid here in our county and the lady I spoke to said I'm understanding this correctly and the Writ of Eviction would be the next step for them IF I reused to pay the rent OR move out within the 10 days. She said since I've moved out, I've done one of the two options the judge ordered so there would be no point to a Writ.
She (legal aid girl) said I need to ask for the court for a judgement or statifaction to block them from filing a writ?
Does all of this sound correct? I tried to call the court, I can't get anyone on the phone to verify or ask "how" to do that and I'm stuck at work almost an hour away.
