Landlords must establish one of nine specific grounds to terminate a tenancy or refuse lease renewal, with written notice of at least one full rental period stating the reason

Permitted grounds for termination include: nonpayment of rent, repeated late payments (5+ times in 12 months), material lease breach, tenant refusal to renew, landlord/family member occupancy, and employment-conditioned housing ending

Property withdrawal from rental market (demolition, condo conversion, nonresidential use) requires filing notice with Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, providing tenants 180-day notice, and paying one month's rent as relocation fee

Landlords who re-rent withdrawn properties within 5 years may be sued for damages and attorney fees by the commissioner, attorney general, or displaced tenants

Rehabilitation or renovation rendering units uninhabitable and compliance with government vacate orders are also valid termination grounds
