Landlord-Tenant Law

Rental property disputes move fast and require strict compliance with Minnesota landlord-tenant law. We represent both landlords and tenants in lease disputes, habitability claims, and evictions

Common Problems

• Rent nonpayment or repeated lease violations
• Security deposit disputes (Minn. Stat. § 504B.178)
• Habitability claims for repair issues (Minn. Stat. § 504B.161)
• Wrongful lease termination or eviction
• Eviction defense under Minnesota eviction action laws

What You Can Recover

• Unpaid rent, late fees, or eviction relief
• Return of wrongfully withheld deposits
• Court-ordered repairs and rent abatements
• Attorney’s fees where statutes allow

Why Legal Help Matters

Minnesota eviction law is highly technical. We:

• Draft enforceable residential and commercial leases
• File or defend eviction actions under Minn. Stat. § 504B.285
• Ensure statutory notice and filing compliance
• Protect property owners’ income and tenants’ housing rights

Don’t Wait to Act

Evictions in Minnesota are often heard within 7–14 days of filing (Minn. Stat. § 504B.321). Security deposit claims must be filed within 2 years (Minn. Stat. § 541.07(2)). Missing deadlines can forfeit your rights.
