Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Minnesota
Debt Collection w/o Signed Lease
I rented out a room in my house to a friend without having them sign a lease or other formal document. She has since moved out and owes back rent in excess of $1,000. Do I have any legal recourse since there is no binding documentation? Can I file a judgement or successfully go to conciliations court to resolve this?

Yes, Conciliation court. Bring any checks that were paid or any other secondary documentation if you have it.
