You don't indicate in your question what your relationship is to this individual. The legal issues surrounding asking them to leave - such as an eviction - are going to be different than the question of whether they are violating their supervised release conditions. I would advise you to... View More
commercial landlord put up political signs for very unappealing candidates last election, possibly alienating customers of tenants who may not know it was not the tenants who put up the signs.

You pose an interesting question. Interference with use and enjoyment of a commercial property differs from a residential property. As an initial note, the covenant of quiet enjoyment is based on possession and not nuisances (no matter how bad.) It is, in effect, an eviction. In a residential... View More
We had a house fire on 1-1-22 in Aitkin, MN. We were renting and I had renters insurance and I was told by my claims adjuster I had 2 years to get them my non salvageable list. Was going to send and my claim has been closed since July 2022. Just wondering how long a claim is open for

A Minnesota attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry about the fire. In terms of Minnesota statutes of limitations to file suit, only a local attorney can advise you there. But as a general premise of insurance practices nationwide, claims can... View More

A Minnesota attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Under textbook contract law, a signed contract is a done deal, subject to exceptions. But since your contract is a lease, a landlord-tenant attorney should advise. Good luck
It would be a standing garden bed in the front yard. Since you could move it, would it be against the law to have in the yard of a rental house? There is nothing in the lease about having a garden, just the generic no alterations or damages can be made to the property.

I don't believe having a standing garden bed with four legs counts as an alteration to the rental property. The Eiffel Tower also has four legs and would count as an alteration to the rental property. The legal term that is the most applicable is "fixture." Why don't you just ask?

Minnesota is one party consent state. So a person in a resident's meeting with management can likely "record the meeting without the resident's permission." I am not going stick my neck out and offer an absolute "yes" or "no." I would never advise a client to do this.

Generally, landlords are required to provide notice to the tenant before initiating eviction proceedings. The notice period and the reasons for eviction may vary depending on the circumstances, such as the type of tenancy and the terms of the rental agreement.
answered on Feb 23, 2023
It depends on the language of your lease.
Most leases allow a landlord to enter the premises to inspect, maintain, and repair.
Some leases require advance notice to the tenant.

With the right facts and proof, he is authorized to do either or both causes of action. Hire a MN attorney to represent you.

I am not aware of any legal requirement to speak to your landlord unless there is a provision in your lease agreement that says this.

What is and is not racism is a matter of opinion. This isn't really a legal question.
The apartment is rented by a couple. Tenant A is in jail for domestic abuse, Tenant B has a restraining order. Tenant B wants to end the lease. How do I do this with Tenant A in jail?

It would be smart to contact someone experienced in landlord tenant law to get a clear answer on your particular situation. They would need to take a look at your lease. I do not practice in this area but know several who do.

I have someone who lives above my garage. I gave him thirty days notice to vacate. I'm tired of his drunken behavior. He has not even packed. He is waiting to see what I do. I want to file an unlawful Detainer. I want him out.

This is not a criminal law question. It is a landlord-tenant law question.
Nothing was filed in Probate. No executor nor representative was appointed. As far as I can tell, no one had a legal right to even enter the deceased person's apartment, let alone remove all property.

Landlords must respect a tenant's right to privacy. Check out section 504B.211.

There are very specific laws regarding personal property of a tenant, how to handle it, etc. It is not necessarily a simple answer capable of being answered on a message board. You might consider meeting with an attorney to discuss this process in detail to ensure you do things the correct way.

The landlord may enter for any legitimate business purpose, which includes showing the property to a potential buyer, after making a good faith effort to give you notice.
