Free Michigan lease agreement, built for your tenant and address
Answer a few questions and get a Michigan residential lease with your tenant, your address, and the disclosures Michigan law calls for written in. We wrote it to the statute; a Michigan attorney has not reviewed it yet, so read it before you rely on it. When it reads right, send it to your tenant to sign online. Building it is free, with no credit card and no account to start.

What is built into the Michigan lease
- The Truth in Renting Act notice at the required 12-point size
- The security deposit notice with the forwarding-address statement in the required boldface, and the 1 1/2 months' rent deposit cap
- The two-copy inventory checklists, with the statutory notice at the top of each form
- The domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking statement, word for word
How it works
- Answer a few questions. Property address, tenant names, rent, dates, deposit, and the handful of choices the lease actually turns on. About five minutes, one topic at a time.
- Watch the lease fill in. The real Michigan document fills in as you go, so you can read every clause before anyone signs.
- Send it for signing. Your tenant signs online, from any phone. Sending it sets up your PropManager account, free for your first 2 weeks with no card.
Michigan rules the lease leans on
- How long a Michigan landlord has to return a security deposit
- How much notice Michigan requires to raise rent
- Write a rent increase notice
Common questions
Is the Michigan lease really free?
Building it is free, with no account and no credit card. To send it to your tenant for e-signature you create a PropManager account, which is free for your first 2 weeks with no card.
Is it reviewed by a Michigan attorney?
No. PropManager Editorial wrote it, and the template is current through Public Act 91 of 2026 and verified against the Michigan Compiled Laws on the Legislature's own site. It is an informational starting point, not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for a licensed Michigan attorney reviewing your situation.
Can I edit the lease?
You set the terms by answering the questions: rent, dates, deposit, and the handful of choices the lease turns on. The document fills in as you go, so you can read every clause before you send it. The wizard is not a free-form editor.
Does it work outside Michigan?
No. This template is Michigan-specific. Other states have their own templates, linked below. For a state we have not written yet, the wizard gives you our general-use lease and says so plainly.
What if my state is not covered yet?
You can still build and send a lease: the wizard gives you our general-use lease and tells you so plainly. Leave your email and we tell you when your state's own lease is ready. Covered states are listed at the bottom of this page.
