Owners of residential real property remedy of removal of unauthorized persons provision
This bill gives Minnesota residential property owners a legal process to request sheriff assistance in removing people occupying their property without permission. It directly affects property owners who need to evict unauthorized occupants (not tenants, family members, or those with valid lease agreements). The key mechanism requires owners to submit a verified written complaint to the sheriff confirming specific conditions, such as having asked the person to leave and verifying the property wasn't open to the public. The sheriff must then serve a notice to vacate and remove occupants, with owners liable for false claims under penalty of perjury.
