In the intricate world of real estate transactions, the Michigan Land Contract Form, also known as Form DC 101, plays a pivotal role. This document, sanctioned by the State Court Administrative Office (SCAO), essentially serves as a formal notification of forfeiture, aiming to address instances where the purchaser of a land contract defaults. The reasons for such a default can range from the nonpayment of installments of principal and/or interest, unpaid taxes, and insurance premiums to other specified breaches of the contract. Designed to clearly outline the specifics of the default, the form notifies the purchaser that they have forfeited their rights under the contract. It details the overdue amounts, including principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and other charges, while also setting a firm deadline for curing the default if the parties had not previously agreed on an extended period. With a clear warning that failure to either pay the overdue amounts in full or cure the contract breaches within the stipulated timeframe will lead to forfeiture of the land contract, it emphasizes the serious nature of compliance. Moreover, it specifies that eviction proceedings could follow should the purchaser fail to vacate the property voluntarily. With stringent measures encapsulated within, the form embodies a legal recourse for contract holders, aiming to ensure adherence to the agreed terms and the swift rectification of defaults, thereby upholding the integrity of land contract transactions in Michigan.
