This bill amends Minnesota civil law to allow agents to represent corporations and limited liability companies in eviction actions. Specifically, it introduces a new section, designated as [504B.317], which states that, despite any existing laws or rules, an agent can appear on behalf of a landlord that is a corporation or limited liability company in eviction proceedings. To ensure proper representation, the agent is required to attach a power of authority form to the eviction complaint at the time of filing.
The provisions of this bill will take effect on August 1, 2026, and will apply to all eviction actions filed on or after that date. This change aims to streamline the eviction process for corporate landlords by allowing designated agents to handle legal proceedings on their behalf.
