Since a 2023 amendment, Minn. Stat. Sec. 504B.321, subd. 1a requires a landlord to give a tenant 14 days' written notice before filing an eviction for nonpayment of rent. The notice must itemize the amount due and include legal-aid and rental-assistance information. The tenant may pay or vacate within 14 days; otherwise the landlord may file.
Under Minn. Stat. Sec. 504B.321, subd. 1a, 'before bringing an eviction action alleging nonpayment of rent... a landlord must provide written notice.' The tenant then has 14 days to pay the total due or vacate. The notice must state the total amount due with an itemized breakdown of rent and fees, identify who is authorized to receive payment, advise the tenant of the right to seek legal help and free legal aid, point to rental-assistance resources such as MNBenefits and 2-1-1, and warn that an eviction may be filed if the amount is not paid. It may be delivered personally or by first-class mail. If the landlord skips proper notice, the eviction case can be dismissed and expunged. Some local governments require a longer notice period.
Failure to give the required 14-day written notice with the mandated contents can result in dismissal of the eviction action and expungement of the case (Sec. 504B.321); the tenant cures by paying the full amount due within the 14 days.
