MN SF591

Landlords must provide residential tenants with written notice and at least seven days to cure nonpayment or vacate before filing an eviction action.

The notice must specify the amount owed to cure the breach, the rent due in the following month, and inform the tenant that eviction may proceed if neither payment nor vacation occurs within seven days.

Residential tenants may exercise the right to cure twice in any 12-month period; additional exercises require the tenant to pay the landlord's actual reasonable attorney fees.

Landlords filing eviction complaints against residential tenants for nonpayment must attach a copy of the notice to quit or pay to the complaint.

Effective August 1, 2013, and applies to eviction cases filed on or after that date.
