ADULT CHILDREN WHO WON’T LEAVE AND OTHER LICENSEE-LICENSOR DISPUTES: MINNESOTA STATUTES SHOULD BE AMENDED TO ALLOW EVICTION ACTIONS TO RESOLVE THEM (3/20/19)

By Paul Birnberg, paulrainerbirnberg@gmail.com

Licensors of licensees who have overstayed their welcome don’t have a simple or clear path to legally remove them. The classic case is the adult child who is living for free in his parents home but won’t leave. As discussed here, amending the eviction-action (“unlawful-detainer”) statute Minn. Stat. § 504B.285 to allow housing courts to hear such disputes would make sense as well as provide bright-lines rules for the steps required to evict licensees.
