Landlord notice deadlines — Minnesota
In Minnesota, the checked deadlines on this page cover: pay or quit, ending a tenancy, raising the rent. Each figure carries its statute and the stamp Rules checked October 2026. Run your exact dates through the checker — the period is only half the answer; the counting rule is the other half.
| Pay or quit | 14 calendar days — the tenant may pay and cure (Minn. Stat. § 504B.291). At least 14 days' written notice stating the amount due, with the required statement of the tenant's right to seek legal help (Legal Aid / LawHelpMN.org). Paying the full amount within 14 days stops the termination. |
|---|---|
| End a tenancy | 14 days — tenancy at will (Minn. Stat. § 504B.135(a)). 14 days' written notice. 30 days — periodic tenancy / month-to-month (Minn. Stat. § 504B.135(b)). Notice at least as long as the rent interval or 3 months, whichever is less — 30 days for a month-to-month tenancy. |
| Raise the rent | 30 days (Minn. Stat. § 504B.177). No statewide cap — St. Paul voters approved a 3% cap of their own (see the St. Paul file). A change takes one full rental period's written notice. |
| How days are counted | No Minnesota counting rule (weekend/holiday treatment) was verified from a primary source for this dataset. |
| Allowed service methods | personal delivery to the tenant first-class mail to the rental property address |
| Just cause | No statewide just-cause requirement. |

Local rules sit on top of state law in many places — city just-cause lists, rent boards, and prescribed local forms. A state deadline is the floor of the analysis, never a promise that no local rule adds to it.
The paper that goes with the date
The checker gives you the date. The kit gives you the notices: pay or quit, non-renewal / termination, and rent increase letters generated from these same checked deadlines, a letter builder that fills in your dates and names, the move-in and move-out inspection checklists, and the proof-of-service checklist.
One-time payment. No subscription. The checker stays free either way.
