How One Man Leveraged Minnesota’s Tenant-Friendly Laws to Live Rent-Free for Years
Minnesota is known for having relatively strong protections for renters. But in one high-profile case, those protections were pushed to their limits and exploited. A landlord has come forward to share how a single tenant managed to stay in a property, largely rent-free, for an extended period by leveraging the state’s tenant-friendly laws. The landlord finally regained possession—but not before losing approximately $15,000 and enduring months of legal struggle.
And it wasn’t the first time the tenant had done this. For years the tenant moved from one luxury apartment to the next never paying rent. It’s estimated he owes close to $100,000 in rent to various landlords.
This cautionary tale is now being shared widely, with the landlord urging others to better understand—and guard against—loopholes in the system. Watch the video below to learn more.
