At Guardian Legal PLC, we represent both landlords and tenants throughout Mid-Michigan—providing practical, knowledgeable advocacy on all aspects of residential and commercial leasing relationships.
- Landlord Representation
• Eviction Filings & Lease Enforcement
Working closely with property managers, we prepare and file summary proceedings, handle service and court appearances, and manage communications with tenants who fail to pay rent or comply with lease provisions.
• Lease Drafting & Review
We draft clear, enforceable lease agreements and addenda tailored to your property and risk profile, and review existing leases to ensure compliance with Michigan’s Landlord–Tenant Relationships Act.
• Security Deposit & Damage Claims
From advising on proper deposit handling to litigating unauthorized deductions, we help you protect your security funds and recover damages when tenants leave your property in breach. - Tenant Advocacy
• Defense Against Unlawful Evictions
If you face eviction or lease termination, we evaluate your case under Michigan law, challenge procedural defects, and negotiate solutions to keep you in your home whenever possible.
• Habitability & Code Violations
We enforce landlords’ obligations to maintain safe, sanitary conditions—filing complaints or lawsuits when necessary to secure repairs, rent reductions, or other relief.
• Security Deposit Recovery
When a landlord unlawfully withholds your deposit, we pursue the full amount plus statutory penalties. - Preventive Counsel & Dispute Resolution
Whether you’re a landlord wanting to minimize future disputes or a tenant seeking clarity on your rights and responsibilities, we provide ongoing advice, mediation services, and training for property managers and owner-operators.
