Michigan leases, notice, and security deposits
An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place, and the buyer takes the property subject to the remaining lease term. Selling the house does not by itself make the tenant move. If you want to end the tenancy, the lease and applicable notice rules matter; the sale alone is not a move-out date.
A sale also does not automatically end your responsibility for a security deposit. One way to end that responsibility is to give the deposit to the new owner and notify the tenant by ordinary mail of the transfer and the new owner’s name and address. Keep the deposit records and tenant notices with the lease for the closing handoff.
Michigan Compiled Laws §554.134 — ending tenancies
The statute sets notice rules for different kinds of tenancy. Check the lease and the rule that fits the actual arrangement before planning possession; a sale does not replace the required notice or make the home vacant.
Michigan Compiled Laws §554.614 — transfer of a rental property
This section covers the seller’s continuing responsibility for a security deposit and the conditions for ending it after a transfer. Give the new owner the deposit and send the tenant ordinary-mail notice of the transfer and the new owner’s name and address.
Michigan Judicial Institute, Residential Landlord-Tenant Law Benchbook §1.1(B) explains how a new owner affects an existing tenancy. The state’s Practical Guide for Tenants and Landlords also addresses what happens to a deposit when a rental is sold.

Does selling the house cancel the lease or make the tenants move?
