A Minnesota 14-Day Notice to Quit (Non-Payment of Rent) is a document used by landlords to notify a tenant that they intend to terminate the tenancy due to unpaid rent. Minnesota law requires landlords to provide the tenant with 14 days correct the rent delinquency. If the tenant fails to pay the owed rent, the landlord may escalate the matter by filing an eviction action in court.
This notice must be delivered to the tenant properly which means it must be sent via the following ways:
- Delivered to the tenant personally at their residence.
- If the tenant is unavailable during the time of delivery, it shall be given to another adult located in the tenant’s rental unit with discretion.
- Delivery via certified or first class mail.
