The catch is a tight, easy-to-miss step on your side, giving a forwarding address within four days of moving out. This guide walks through every part with the section numbers so you can check the law yourself.</p> <p><strong>TL;DR:</strong> A Michigan landlord can hold no more than one and one-half months&rsquo; rent. Within four days of moving out, give the landlord a forwarding address. The landlord then has 30 days to return the deposit or send an itemized list of damages, and a landlord who wrongfully keeps it owes you double the amount retained.</p>
