About Trek & Trust Law

At Trek & Trust Law, the approach we take to evictions is based on the Landlord’s individual objective because every situation is different. We know it’s expensive to turn a property, finding a new tenant takes time, and the objective isn’t always to get someone out.

We even engage tenants prior to the hearing to try to avoid court. If we can get an agreement to pay or vacate on the record with less fuss, everyone gets what they want with the least expense and stress.

Trek & Trust is not your typical law firm; we’re relaxed and relatable. We trade the stuffy corporate attire and choose to meet our clients in their situation and on their terms. We are people you can relate to and our goal is to know you, and use that to get what you really want.

We treat every landlord client like a real person with a real story. We handle the “unpleasant” parts of property management with a human touch. A bit of lightheartedness and a friendly smile help take the sting out of difficult situations. We serve as the professional buffer between you and your neighbors, preserving your local relationships while ensuring your business interests are protected as the landlord.

We don’t burn bridges with tenants where possible and you want a lawyer who is going to treat people with civility in hard times. That doesn’t mean weaker outcomes, but we respect the fact that we are people first.

When we sit down with you, you have our attention. Through virtual consultations, we resolve many issues without you ever needing to drive to our office. We’re always just an email away. We prioritize staying accessible through efficient digital communication.

When you partner with our office, you’re getting genuine value. We’ve cut the corporate bloat. Our streamlined processes mean less overhead and more cost savings passed directly to you. We’re a small office with a big impact. Whether you have properties in Rum River Shores or Historic Downtown, our tight-knit team goes above and beyond to make sure your investment is protected. Give us a call to find out for yourself how we are different from other law firms.

Grounds for Eviction

In Minnesota, there are many different grounds for eviction, which include:

• Nonpayment of Rent. This is the most frequent cause. Landlords must provide a 14-day written notice before filing for eviction due to nonpayment.
• Lease Violations. These often include having unauthorized pets, causing property damage, or noise violations.
• Illegal Activity. This may involve the use or sale of drugs, prostitution, or unlawful weapons possession.
• Holding Over. This occurs when a tenant remains after the lease has expired or been terminated by proper notice.

Filing and Court Process

If your tenant does not pay or vacate within 14 days, you may file a complaint at the Anoka County District Court, which is located at the Anoka County Courthouse, which is at 2100 3rd Avenue, Anoka, MN 55303. A lawyer can provide comprehensive assistance throughout the eviction process.

Reasons to Hire an Eviction Lawyer

According to Minnesota Judicial Branch data, eviction filings are on an upward trajectory. In 2025, there were 23,391 filings recorded, surpassing the 23,282 cases filed in 2024. Given the surge in filings and recent legislative changes, navigating a Minnesota eviction without a lawyer has become significantly more risky.

Hiring an eviction lawyer is a strategic investment to navigate a process where a single procedural error can lead to the dismissal of your case, forcing you to restart while losing additional months of rental income.

A lawyer can help with:

• Compliance with strict new notice rules for tenant nonpayment
• Protect against liability and penalties
• Faster possession, as experienced lawyers know exactly how to serve summons and file complaints to move the timeline as fast as the law allows
• Complex defenses

When you partner with a lawyer, they can protect your investments from costly procedural errors and shifting legal landscapes. Call a seasoned Anoka lawyer at Trek & Trust Law for reliable legal assistance.

FAQs

How Long Does It Take to Evict a Tenant in Minnesota?

The eviction process in Minnesota moves fast, and the whole process can be executed in a couple of weeks. The time from notice to the sheriff showing up at a tenant’s door to make sure they exit the property can occur in less than a month, but typically it’s about 6 weeks, so don’t wait! Contact us now to see what the options are in your situation.

What Are the Rules for Eviction in Minnesota?

Minnesota’s eviction laws are not for the faint of heart and changes are frequent and silent. While we pride ourselves on navigating it successfully every time, that is due entirely to having done hundreds if not thousands of evictions. The rules of Minnesota eviction are found in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 504B.

How Long Does a Tenant Have to Move Out After Eviction in Minnesota?

The length of time a tenant has to move out after eviction in Minnesota is not long. Once a writ is ordered by the judge, it can be a matter of days. It is up to the judge to establish the tenant’s move-out date. If the tenant has a lawyer representing them at the eviction hearing, they may negotiate more time.

Can a Landlord Represent Themselves at an Eviction Hearing?

The statutes are clear on only one point, make an error, and they throw you out, expunge the matter, and you start over. A non-corporate landlord is able to represent themselves in an eviction hearing, there are risks of self-representation. Minnesota law requires “strict compliance” with filing and service rules. A minor error in the 14-day pre-eviction notice can lead to immediate dismissal. There is nothing worse than seeing a desperate landlord represent themselves, and try to talk to the judge when the matter has already been dismissed on a technicality. Meanwhile the tenant laughs it up and heads back to destroy the property. Sad.
