[MN] How do I legally evict squatters?
Here’s the overall process for eviction in your state. I'll also draft a template for you:
5-DAY NOTICE TO QUIT FOR UNAUTHORIZED POSSESSION
(Minnesota – Minn. Stat. § 504B.301)
Date: [Insert Date]
To: [Name of Occupant(s)]
Property: [Full Rental Property Address, City, MN ZIP]
From: [Owner / Landlord Name]
[Owner Address]
[Phone / Email]
RE: Notice to Quit – Unauthorized Possession of Rental Property
Dear [Occupant Name],
This letter serves as formal notice that you are occupying the premises located at:
[Full Rental Property Address]
without lawful authority or consent of the landlord/property owner.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 504B.301, you are hereby notified to vacate and deliver possession of the premises within five (5) days of service of this notice.
If you fail to vacate the premises within five (5) days, legal action may be initiated against you to recover possession of the property through an unlawful detainer (eviction) action, and you may be held responsible for all associated court costs, attorney’s fees, and damages as permitted by law.
If you believe you have a legal right to possession or occupancy, you must notify the landlord immediately and provide documentation to support your claim.
Please govern yourself accordingly.
Sincerely,
[Landlord / Authorized Agent Signature]

I need a notice to vacate form.
I understand you need a notice to vacate form. Are you looking for a specific type of notice to vacate form?
I don't know.
Could you please clarify the reason for needing the notice to vacate form?
I have squatters at my house.
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with squatters.
I don't know.
Hello, my name is Benjamin, and I have been a licensed attorney for over 19 years. I look forward to assisting you with your question. What state are you in? Did these people ever have a lease?
Minnesota and no, we contacted local law enforcement but they were not helpful.
