Under Minn. Stat. Sec. 504B.135, either party may end a tenancy at will with written notice at least as long as the rent interval or three months, whichever is less. For monthly rent that means one month's notice. A 2023 rule, Sec. 504B.147, bars the landlord from using shorter notice than the lease gives the tenant.
Minn. Stat. Sec. 504B.135(a) provides that 'a tenancy at will may be terminated by either party by giving notice in writing,' and 'the time of the notice must be at least as long as the interval between the time rent is due or three months, whichever is less.' For a typical month-to-month tenancy with monthly rent, that interval is one month. Where rent is due more frequently, the notice equals that shorter interval, never more than three months. Under Sec. 504B.147 (2023), if the lease sets a notice period for the tenant to quit, the landlord cannot give a notice to quit shorter than that period. A fixed-term lease ends on its own terms and does not require this notice unless it continues as a periodic tenancy.
No specific statutory fine; a termination on improper or short notice is ineffective, and a landlord who removes a tenant without proper notice or a court eviction order may face an unlawful-removal claim under Sec. 504B.225 and Sec. 504B.231.
