Although plaintiff alleged that he received a letter from defendant Great Lakes informing him that it was the owner of the property and giving him 10 days to vacate the property, this notice was insufficient as a one month’s notice to quit is required to terminate a month-to month tenancy.

Ypsilanti Housing Commission v. O'Day · filed 2000-06-26(1)

In the present case, defendant was entitled to one month’s notice under subsection 34(1), which is a codification of the common-law rule regarding the amount of notice required to terminate month-to-month tenancies, Feister v Bosack, 198 Mich App 19, 25-26; 497 NW2d 522 (1993), because subsection 34(4) is not implicated here. ... Thus, subsection 34(4) does not authorize a seven-day notice to quit for the type of activity forming the basis for the present eviction action- — drug-related criminal activity off the leased premises. As such, the general provision, subsection 34(1), which requires one month’s notice for a month-to-month lease, is operative.
