[MN] How do I evict a tenant for non-payment?

I am sorry to hear of this issue. You will want to give them a written notice to vacate, which it sounds like you have (§ Subd. 1a).
If they do not vacate in the notice period, you will then file for an eviction at your local small claims court. You will fill out and file the eviction complaint/petition.
You will then have it served on your tenant. You would be evicting because your tenant is causing these issues for you that you noted above.
The judge will schedule a hearing and determine if your tenant should be evicted.

If at anytime you need an attorney to assist you, you can find a local attorney by contacting your local bar association and asking for a referral to one.
You can also contact your local legal aid society as they offer free and low-cost services in these types of cases.
