In Minnesota, a landlord generally cannot evict a tenant “for no reason” during the term of a valid lease agreement; they must have a legal basis such as nonpayment of rent, a lease violation, or other statutory grounds and must follow the formal court eviction process. Landlords cannot physically remove you (e.g., change locks or shut off utilities) without a court order.
If a written lease has expired and isn’t renewed, or if there’s no written lease and the tenancy is month‑to‑month, the landlord doesn’t need a separate reason to end the tenancy; they must provide proper written notice (typically at least one full rental period, often 30 days for a month‑to‑month) before filing an eviction if you don’t leave.
