SF 4034 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Unauthorized persons removal from property remedies establishment

SF 4034 establishes a new legal process for property owners in Minnesota to request sheriff assistance in removing unauthorized occupants from residential property. It allows owners or their agents to submit a sworn complaint to the sheriff if someone entered without permission, isn't a tenant or family member, the owner has already demanded they leave, and no related lawsuits are pending. The bill requires a specific complaint form verifying these conditions under penalty of perjury. This applies directly to residential property owners facing unlawful occupation, not to tenants, family members, or current leaseholders. The bill creates a streamlined remedy but does not change tenant rights or eviction procedures for legal occupants.
