You received an eviction notice or court summons.

Despite pandemic-related eviction prevention measures, thousands of renters were evicted in the past two years due to loopholes in policies and enforcement.

For example, analysis of court data by U-M researchers shows nearly 90% of eviction cases filed in Detroit during the pandemic came from landlords whose properties were not in compliance with the city’s rental ordinance. Eviction case filings were on the rise in 2022, signaling the potential return to a cycle of mass evictions.
