Court Hearings Today in MI With One Tenant

Today was a whirlwind of emotions dealing with one of my properties in MI.  Short story is tenant is not following the lease aka... not mowing the grass and leaving trash everywhere in the yard.  Funny thing is I pay for trash, they just need to put on the curb. City sends my property manager and myself the violations.  We let the city know that they are not following the lease and we are not allowed to evict, so how are we supposed to fix this.  Court summons swiftly follows this including the tenant.  Tenant does not show up to the court hearing.  Judge decides to give more time and reconvene next month.  I take this as a win for now.  Their lease is up on the 31st.  My fear is if the outside looks this bad, the inside is probably not much better.  It is sad to see my investment get this bad, one tenant can cause a lot of stress and problems.  I did put a lot of work, energy, time, money into this property, but we just got to keep moving.  There are good tenants and there are bad ones as well.  Stay Safe out there.

Anyone dealing with stuff like this right now?
