A landlord can't force you to move out before the lease ends, unless you fail to pay the rent or violate another significant term, such as repeatedly throwing large and noisy parties. In these cases, landlords in Minnesota must follow specific procedures to end the tenancy.

If the landlord wants to end a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord will need to give the tenant a written notice to vacate. The amount of time on the notice must be either three months or the length of time between when rent is due, whichever is less.

Minnesota law says that a landlord or caretaker can only enter your apartment for a business reason or an emergency. If it is for a business reason, the landlord has to tell you ahead of time. A landlord can't make you sign anything giving up your right to know ahead of time if they want to enter your apartment.

If the landlord wants to end the tenancy, they must give the tenant advance written notice the day before that last rental period begins. If the landlord misses the deadline, the notice is not effective and the tenancy is automatically extended for another month.

A Minnesota month-to-month rental agreement is for tenancy-at-will arrangements where the landlord and tenant can terminate at any time with one (1) month's notice. The agreement will continue for an unspecified amount of time and will only be canceled upon termination by the landlord or tenant sending notice.

Breaking the Lease Tenants who break a lease by moving out early, or prior to giving appropriate notification, are generally responsible for paying the rest of the money owed on the lease and may also be penalized by ?break lease? fees or other charges defined in the lease.
