Ejectment Actions in Minnesota During the Ban on Evictions

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and related peacetime emergency in Minnesota, landlords had the right to evict renters from their properties under a wide variety of circumstances. That changed in 2020 when the "moratorium" or ban on evictions was put in place to help combat the fallout from the COVID-19 virus and related financial turmoil in the Minnesota community. With eviction actions now off the table, some property owners are looking into an older and lesser-known legal action to recover possession of real property that remains unaffected by the current eviction moratorium in Minnesota.
