Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Minnesota

Re: Townhouse Forcloser

There is a statute on point:

504B.151 RESTRICTION ON RESIDENTIAL LEASE TERMS FOR BUILDINGS IN

FINANCIAL DISTRESS.

Once a landlord has received notice of a contract for deed cancellation under section 559.21

or notice of a mortgage foreclosure sale under chapter 580 or 582, the landlord may enter into a

periodic residential lease agreement with a term of two months or less or a fixed term residential

tenancy not extending beyond the cancellation period or the landlord's period of redemption until:

(1) the contract for deed has been reinstated or paid in full;

(2) the mortgage default has been cured and the mortgage reinstated;

(3) the mortgage has been satisfied;

(4) the property has been redeemed from a foreclosure sale; or

(5) a receiver has been appointed.

This section does not apply to a manufactured home park as defined in section 327C.01,

subdivision 5 .
