Leland House Power Shutoff Paused After Owners Agree to Pay DTE $43,000

Bankruptcy court must approve the payment for the funds to be released.

Overview

  • Residents had been told to vacate by Dec. 3 after DTE warned of a disconnect tied to unpaid utility charges.
  • Ownership says financing is in place and has committed to the $43,000 deposit to keep electricity on.
  • DTE will not turn off power following the agreement, pending receipt of the funds, according to FOX 2.
  • A U.S. bankruptcy judge previously allowed Detroit to press non‑monetary nuisance claims, and a contempt hearing in state court is set for Dec. 5.
  • A separate Dec. 4 bankruptcy hearing will address the financing, as the city’s housing department continues outreach and prepares relocation assistance.
