Renter left after eviction notice served....cousin still there.

[Cynthia Malmquist]

I know the rules vary from state to state but I am hoping someone from Michigan (mainly Genesee County) may have some advice. My renter in the City of Flint has moved all of her stuff out because we are in the process of an eviction (court date is Jan 8th) However, a cousin that has been staying there on an off (according to her) now refuses to leave and is being belligerent and threatening. Do I have the right to call the Sheriff regarding the trespasser or do I just follow through with my court date and deal with it at that point? Any advice would be greatly appreaciated!

I sure hope someone else can chime in about this, but I think I read about listing "John and Jane Doe" (or "all occupants", which is what Kris is probably referring to) as additional people to evict. That way when you get the court order the sheriff can remove anybody that's in the unit and not just those listed.
