Minnesota Late Rent Notice

This Late Rent Notice is built with Minnesota as the governing state. These are the Minnesota landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Minnesota rules at a glance

Rent, late fees & fees

• Late fees — A late fee is allowed only if the landlord and tenant agreed to it in writing, and it can’t exceed 8% of the overdue rent. For subsidized tenancies it’s calculated only on the tenant’s share (§504B.177).
• Total Monthly Payment — Every non-optional fee must be disclosed in the lease, and rent plus all non-optional fees must appear as the “Total Monthly Payment” on the first page, along with whether utilities are included. Violations carry treble damages (§504B.120).
• Payment methods — Cash rent requires a written receipt. Since August 1, 2026, a landlord that uses an online payment platform must offer a free alternative when the platform isn’t working, and can’t charge late fees or evict when both methods fail (§504B.118).
• Early renewal — For leases over ten months, a landlord can’t require the tenant to decide on renewal earlier than six months before the lease ends (§504B.144).
• Rent control — Cities can control rents only through an ordinance approved by voters in a general election (§471.9996). St. Paul’s voter-approved rent stabilization ordinance limits most annual increases, with exemptions; check local rules before raising rent there.

Ending a Minnesota tenancy

A month-to-month tenancy ends by written notice at least as long as the interval between rent due dates, or three months if that is shorter (§504B.135). A fixed-term lease ends on its end date unless the lease requires notice or renews automatically.

• Nonpayment notice — Before filing for unpaid rent or fees, the landlord must deliver a written notice with the total due, an itemized accounting, the name and address for payment, and three statutory statements about legal aid, emergency assistance and the 14-day deadline. A case filed without it is dismissed and expunged (§504B.321, subds. 1, 1a).
• Violence survivors — A tenant who fears imminent violence after domestic abuse, criminal sexual conduct, sexual extortion or harassment can end the lease with signed written notice and a qualifying document, owing rent only through the month the tenancy ends (§504B.206).
• Medical need — A tenant found by a medical professional to need to move into a care facility may end the lease early (§504B.266).
• Abandonment — If a tenant leaves early, the landlord must make reasonable efforts to re-rent at fair rental value; the tenant isn’t liable for rent after a new tenancy starts (§504B.154).
