Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Minnesota
landlord/property
I had a verbal agreement with friends
of my brothers to live at my house for a
low monthly cost of $700.00 in
addition to them watching my dog. It
is almost three months they have not
paid me, they vacated my house with
my dog and have left their stuff on the
premesis. Can I legally hold their stuff
hostage. I live in Minneapolis.

You need to sue for back rent + follow the MINUTE statute re: tenant's abandoned property.
Call for assistance. I have been a LL for 28 years.
