Eviction Notices in Minnesota
Minnesota's eviction process, called an "eviction action" (formerly unlawful detainer), is governed by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 504B. Unlike most states, Minnesota does not require a separate written notice before filing for nonpayment of rent unless the lease requires one.
Minnesota courts move quickly through eviction cases, often scheduling hearings within a week or two of filing. Self-help evictions are prohibited.
