Top evicting landlords are responsible for the most eviction filings in Detroit.

Eviction Filing: The act of a landlord (plaintiff) filing a complaint to bring an eviction lawsuit against a tenant (defendant). An eviction filing can have long-term consequences for tenants' housing stability, regardless of what happens in the case.

Complaint Type: The type of document a landlord files in an eviction case, stating the reason they are seeking to evict a tenant.

Landlords must have a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) to legally occupy their units and collect rent from tenants.

Properties in Compliance:

• Properties are In Compliance (Yes) with Detroit’s rental ordinance if the landlord obtained a valid Certificate of Compliance (CoC)* before the eviction filing date.

• Properties without a valid CoC are Not in Compliance (No) with Detroit’s rental ordinance if the landlord lacked a CoC* for the property at the date of eviction filing.
