About Eviction Court
What happens at eviction court?
The judicial officer will decide whether you have to move, or if you can stay in your home. You
can try to work out a deal with the landlord or ask for a court trial.
What happens if I am late or if I miss court?
Eviction – Remote Summons
MNCIS-HOU-119R State Eng Rev 1/24 Page 2 of 3
You could lose the case automatically and get an eviction on your record. The judicial officer
can order you to move right away; and if you do not move, the sheriff can move you out and
put all your belongings into storage. You will then have to pay the storage and moving costs
before you can get your belongings back.
What are my rights?
You have the right to tell the judicial officer your side of the case. For example:
• If you believe that all or some of the things that your landlord says in the attached
papers are wrong, you can tell those things to the judicial officer.
• If you believe that your landlord is trying to evict you because of something you did to
protect your rights, as a tenant, you can explain that to the judicial officer.
• If the attached papers say that you have not paid rent, and you believe that your
apartment is in bad condition and needs repairs, you can tell that to the judicial officer.
Have the total rent owed with you at the hearing.
• You have the right to have witnesses and to present evidence.
• You may have other defenses. You should research the law or ask an attorney.
• If you live in public housing and are being evicted for an alleged breach of lease under
Minn. Stat. § § 504B.171 or 504B.285, (this does not include non-payment of rent) you
may be able to apply for a court-appointed attorney. You may attend the hearing and
speak for yourself or you may have a lawyer with you to represent you. If you want a
lawyer, you must get one right away.
