Property Management

In Minnesota, a 'holdover tenant' who remains in the rental unit after the lease expires without the landlord's agreement is treated as:

AA trespasser with no legal rights
BA month-to-month tenant if the landlord accepts rent, or subject to eviction✓ Correct
CA tenant with a 90-day notice requirement
DA tenant with a renewed one-year lease automatically

Explanation

If a Minnesota tenant holds over (stays past the lease end) and the landlord accepts rent, the law typically treats the holdover as a month-to-month tenancy. If the landlord does not wish to continue the tenancy, they can begin eviction proceedings or treat the holdover as a trespasser after proper notice.
