Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Minnesota
Worried about eviction
I have lived in my apartment for 6 of the 12 month lease. I have tried talking to my property manager several times because I lost my job and assistance from my father, so I can no longer afford rent. I tired to sublease (since I figured they would rather have someone take over my lease, instead of evicting me and going to court) however, they said since they have vacancies, I cannot sublet until they are filled, AND THEN I will be put on a list. They said I have until the 8th of the month to pay & then if I have not, my boyfriend & I will be evicted. I got another job, but I will not have enough money by the 8th and my boyfriend is getting limited hours at work because they are not busy enough to get him full time work. We have both applied to other jobs, but in this economy, its lucky that we have any job. Also, I think there may be mold in our apartment, and when they inspected our apartment they said that our wall (although w/ wet spots) was not discolored so they wont do anything.

Re: Worried about eviction
Have you tried asking your LL if you could advertise the Apt on Craigslist ( and putting up sign etc.) and try to re=rent the apt?
I would try that, and let LL know that even if he sues you will not be able to pay judgment.
You should cover cost of ad , sign etc.
That way if you do get sued you can show judge you tried to limit LL's damages.
