Lease agreement help/Michigan legaladvice

hello every one and thanks for taking the time for reading this post.

I am currently in an agreement with my landlord and the contract is expiring. However, they are trying to change the contract to more favorable conditions for them, and I believe that they are trying to find a reason to evict. I currently live in Michigan and I have my medical marijuana license. They are trying to put into the contract that no marijuana can be used on the property. However, this was not covered in the previous contract.

Is this allowed, or can I reject the contract for a more favorable one?
