I usually pay on Thursdays but can not pay this Thursday due to the fact that I switched jobs I can pay on Tuesday can they legally kick me out if I do not pay today they have no lease with the land lord.

No, they cannot kick you out, lock you out, or prevent you from using the property. If you failed to pay rent, they could bring an eviction action in court against you. But in Minnesota, you have the right to "pay to stay" before the evicition order is granted. So long as you pay before they get a court order evicting you, they cannot kick you out. They may still have the right (depending on what the lease says) to terminate the lease upon written notice, but typically there's a notice requirement.
