Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to landlords and tenants; permitting a court to stay certain writs of recovery for up to 15 days; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 504B.345, subdivisions 1, 2.

AI Summary

This bill, effective August 1, 2026, allows courts to grant a tenant up to a 15-day stay, or pause, on a "writ of recovery of premises and order to vacate," which is a legal document that allows a landlord to regain possession of a property, in most eviction cases, extending the previous maximum of seven days. This extension applies to eviction actions that are already underway or will be filed on or after the effective date, with exceptions for certain serious cases like those involving nuisances, endangerment of safety, or intentional property damage, and does not apply to default judgments.
