Minnesota's COVID-era eviction moratorium ended June 2022 under a phased wind-down statute; Minneapolis followed state schedule. Pre-pause arrears must follow standard collection procedures, not summary eviction.
Governor Walz's Executive Order 20-79 paused most evictions starting March 2020. The 2021 legislature replaced the executive order with a phased wind-down under Minn. Stat. Section 504B Chapter 4 provisions, ending most protections by June 1, 2022. The wind-down required landlords to apply for RentHelpMN before filing eviction for COVID-era arrears, file with proper notice for nonpayment over 15 days, and treat tenants in pending applications as protected. Minneapolis Regulatory Services tracked compliance. Post-2022, evictions returned to standard procedure under Minn. Stat. Chapter 504B, but COVID-era ledgers may still show in tenant screening records.
Filing eviction for unpaid COVID-era rent without RentHelpMN application or before wind-down deadlines triggered case dismissal and potential bad-faith civil claims; current relevance is limited to legacy disputes.
