Landlord Resources

The rights and duties of landlords in Minnesota are spelled out in federal law, state statutes, local ordinances, safety and housing codes, common law, contract law, and a number of court decisions. These responsibilities can vary from place to place around the state.

Forms

The Minnesota Judicial Branch publishes many forms for landlord/tenant disputes, including forms for eviction, rent escrow and repairs, expungement of housing records, and more. There are statewide versions of the forms, as well as local versions. If a form is listed as statewide, it can be used in any Minnesota District Court. If a form is listed for a specific district, it can only be used in that district.
