Self-help notice overview

Using a Minnesota 14-Day Written Notice of Possible Future Eviction Action

A written Minnesota 14-Day Written Notice of Possible Future Eviction Action helps document the landlord, tenant, leased premises, total amount due, itemized accounting, required statutory statements, and records to keep before any court filing.

Minnesota law, local longer-notice rules, lease terms, rental-assistance facts, public-housing or voucher requirements, federal-program overlays, and service rules can affect required content, timing, and next steps. Review the state-specific page information and completed notice carefully before serving it.

A notice is not a completed eviction judgment. If the tenant does not pay or move out after proper notice, a landlord may still need to follow the Minnesota eviction court process before possession can change.

Before you use this notice

  • List the total amount due and a specific accounting of rent, late fees, and other lease charges.
  • Include the name and address of the person authorized to receive rent and fees.
  • Include the three statutory statements required by Minn. Stat. § 504B.321 — legal-help, financial-help, and the 14-day deadline statement — exactly as written.
  • Deliver the notice personally or by first-class mail to the leased premises.
  • Wait 14 days, or any longer local period, before filing if the tenant does not pay or move out.

Minnesota now requires a written pre-eviction notice

Minn. Stat. § 504B.321, subd. 1a requires a landlord to provide written notice before bringing a residential eviction action alleging nonpayment of rent or another unpaid financial obligation under the lease.

The notice must give the tenant 14 days from delivery or mailing to pay the total amount due or move out, unless a local government rule or law requires a longer pre-eviction notice period.

Minnesota notice content to verify

  • Total amount due and itemized accounting.
  • Authorized payment recipient name and address.
  • Legal-help statement directing tenants to Legal Aid or LawHelpMN.org.
  • Financial-help statement directing tenants to county/Tribal social services, MNBenefits.mn.gov, or 2-1-1.
  • Deadline statement giving the tenant 14 days from the date of the notice to pay or move out.

What happens after service

If the tenant does not correct the rent delinquency or move out after the required notice period, the landlord may bring an eviction action. The Minnesota Attorney General explains that only a court order and sheriff can physically remove a tenant.

State-specific caution

Minnesota local governments may require a longer notice period than 14 days. If the required notice is not provided, the court must dismiss the eviction without prejudice and expunge the case record (Minn. Stat. § 504B.321).
