New Filing Fee Available for Filing Lockout and Emergency Tenant Remedies
What is happening? Beginning January 1, 2024, a new filing fee will be available in the Optional Service and Fee section of eFile and eServe (eFS). This fee is being added as a result of the omnibus Judiciary and Public Safety bill passed at the end of the 2023 legislative session. See 2023 Minn. Laws ch. 52, art 19, sec 92, § 1 and sec 95, § 8.
 
What does this affect? Anyone using eFS to electronically file new cases for actions involving Lockout and Emergency Tenant Remedies should use the new Housing - Tenant Exclusion or Emergency Action Filing Fee. The filing fee is required unless an Affidavit of Inability to Pay Filing Fee - Housing has been filed, if applicable. Visit District Court Fees on mncourts.gov for information regarding fee amounts.
