Minnesota HF1433 amends notice periods for abandoned tenant property.

Minnesota HF1433 amends civil law to modify notice periods for landlords handling abandoned tenant property. The bill specifies that landlords may take possession of a tenant's personal property if the tenant abandons the rented premises. It mandates that landlords store and care for the property and have a claim against the tenant for reasonable costs incurred. The landlord can sell the property 28 days after receiving notice of abandonment or when it reasonably appears the tenant has abandoned the premises, whichever is later.
