On October 3, 2022 the Ann Arbor City Council adopted a Early Leasing Ordinance remains in effect in Ann Arbor. Although the Early Leasing Ordinance does not provide a right to renew a lease, it does require landlords to notify current tenants of the terms and conditions for a new lease, no later than 180 days before the end of the current lease period. This notice must include the date by which a tenant must inform the landlord if they accept a new lease for the same unit. This date cannot be sooner than 150 days before the end of the current lease. Additionally, the Early Leasing Ordinance prohibits landlords from showing the rental property to prospective tenants or entering into an agreement to rent to another tenant until 150 days before the end of the current lease.
