The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 504B.301, to clarify the legal framework surrounding eviction procedures and trespass. It specifies that individuals who are not renting a residential unit, do not have a lease, and lack a contract or sublease do not need to undergo eviction processes to be removed from a property. Instead, such individuals can be removed for trespassing if they have been notified by the tenant or property owner that they are not welcome and do not have permission to remain on the premises.
The new legal language inserted into the statute outlines the conditions under which a person may be removed for trespass, including the absence of a signed lease, prior notice of being unwelcome, and lack of explicit permission from the tenant or property owner. The bill also establishes that these changes will take effect the day after final enactment.
