Governor Whitmer signs executive order protecting tenants

ALPENA, Mich.— Renters can feel at ease for the rest of this month and on into June after Governor Whitmer signed an executive order protecting tenants from eviction. The order freezes evictions during the COVID–19 pandemic for renters and mobile home owners until June 11th.

The executive order also relieves courts from eviction related proceedings for those who are unable to pay. In a press release from Governor Whitmer, she said, “This executive order gives renters and mobile home owners some peace of mind as we continue to flatten the curve.”
