My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Michigan
This is just kind of a general advice issue. I'm renting a duplex, and our LL seems to keep confusing the two units. A short time after my wife and I moved in, the people in the other unit moved out. The two units have two different addresses--mine ends in 75, the neighbors with 73. When they were trying to rent the vacant unit, they posted our address on their website--a couple of 3rd party sites also listed our address. Several times, people came over, knocking on the door, peeking in windows, etc, usually when my wife was home alone. She eventually laid into one poor kid when she saw him peeking in the windows and he apologized and said "The ad says 75." She apologized to him (he's actually now our new neighbor and a super nice guy, so good.) When we emailed LL to notify her, she just denied it and said the ad says 73. I sent her two links to webpages showing the address as 75, and she still denied it, saying they have no control over 3rd party sites. On their own website, the property is listed as 73-75, with pictures of OUR unit and you have to click on a tiny link at the bottom that says "unit info" to get the real address. I ended up dropping it.
Now, the LL says they received a citation from the township saying our grass was too long, and threatening a $100 fine. This seemed odd, since I'd been mowing every week. We called the township office and were informed that the citation was for 73, NOT 75.
I'm thinking this falls more under the category of incompetence than illegal, but any advice on how to proceed if this keeps happening? Between strangers peeking in windows, and threats of fines, it's getting a bit ridiculous.
