Bill > HF4726

This bill, effective August 1, 2026, allows courts to delay the enforcement of certain eviction orders, known as writs of recovery of premises and orders to vacate, for up to 15 days, an increase from the previous seven-day limit. This extension applies to most eviction cases, except for those involving specific lease violations like non-payment of rent under section 504B.171, or when a tenant poses a nuisance or danger to others or property. The bill also clarifies that this extended delay is not available in cases where a default judgment has been issued. Additionally, for evictions related to criminal activity as outlined in section 609.5317, subdivision 1, a court can only grant a stay of up to 15 days if it makes specific written findings detailing extraordinary circumstances.
