Minnesota SF4537 modifies the expedited eviction process requirements by adding stricter criteria for filing and reviewing complaints.

Minnesota SF4537 amends the expedited eviction process by requiring landlords to file an affidavit with specific facts supporting the need for an expedited hearing. The court will only schedule such hearings if the facts meet the requirements. The tenant must appear within five to seven days of the summons issuance, which must be served within 24 hours unless the court orders otherwise. The bill also imposes a civil penalty of up to $500 for abuse of the expedited process.
