Tenant Resources

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.
 

Housing Court Forms

You can use Minnesota Guide & File to create the forms you need to file an Eviction Answer if you have been served with an Eviction Action Complaint.  You may be able to file the forms electronically (eFile) through Guide & File, depending on your case.  For more information, visit our Guide & File Help Topic.

If you are not interested in using the online Guide & File interview, you can instead use these housing court forms.
