Renting The Lot, Owning The Home
Minn. Stat. 327C.06 — sixty days before a rent increase, and cause to end a tenancy
Sixty days before a rent increase. No increase in the periodic rent is valid unless the park owner gives the resident 60 days' written notice. A park owner may impose only two rent increases on a resident in any 12 month period, and no increase may be for paying a penalty imposed on the park owner.
In Minnesota, a park owner may recover possession of the land under a manufactured home only for a reason that section or the section on park closings specifies.
Nonpayment. The park owner gives ten days' written notice that a rent or utilities payment is overdue, to the resident and any secured party it knows of, and neither cures the default within ten days of receiving it.
Rules and conduct. A resident who does not comply with a park rule within 30 days after written notice of the alleged violation, giving its date, approximate time and nature, can be evicted for it. Conduct that endangers others, substantially damages the park or substantially annoys residents needs 30 days' written notice to vacate, and a second such violation after that notice can mean leaving immediately.
