Minnesota Eviction Notice
Minnesota eviction for rent usually follows a 14-day notice. Minneapolis and St. Paul add local just-cause and notice rules. This generator builds a written Minnesota eviction notice (pay-or-quit, cure-or-quit, end-of-term, or unconditional quit) around those deadlines. It is not a court summons, and it is not permission to change the locks.
- Nonpayment notices are often 14 days.
- A written notice stating the breach and a chance to cure is the usual first step unless the statute allows immediate filing.
- Minneapolis, St. Paul, and some other cities require a listed reason to evict or non-renew.

- What is an eviction notice in Minnesota?
- Minnesota eviction for rent usually follows a 14-day notice. Minneapolis and St. Paul add local just-cause and notice rules.
- Can I change the locks or remove belongings after serving notice?
- No. Self-help eviction is illegal in most states. After proper notice, you generally must file in court and follow the judge’s process. Never lock a tenant out without a lawful order.
- Pay-or-quit vs cure-or-quit — what is the difference?
- Nonpayment generally takes a 14-day written notice (Minn. Stat. § 504B.135 / eviction practice under § 504B.285). A written notice stating the breach and a chance to cure is the usual first step unless the statute allows immediate filing.
