Governor Snyder signed Senate Bill 72 into law on January 10, 2017, which means that property owners (both residential and commercial) can now prohibit the growing or smoking of marijuana in their properties, provided that there is a provision in a written lease to that effect. Here is some sample language you may want to consider using in a residential lease in order to take advantage of the new law:
Tenant, any member of Tenant’s household, and Tenant’s guest or other person under Tenant’s control shall not smoke or cultivate marijuana on the Premises, notwithstanding any rights provided under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act.
