ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.
Operative Text
Subpart 1. Receiver. A receiver is eligible for a loan under the receivership revolving loan fund if the receiver meets the prequalification requirements for the specific project under this part and presents a certified copy of a court order in an action under Minnesota Statutes, section 504B.425 or 504B.385. The order must state that the prequalified receiver has been appointed to act in the case and must contain a finding that the appointment of a receiver with the power to collect funds is consistent with the statutory factors relating to the long-term economic viability of the dwelling as provided in Minnesota Statutes, section 504B.445. Subp. 2. Low and moderate income. In the property subject to the order, at least 50 percent of the occupied rental units must be occupied by persons and families of low and moderate income as defined in part 4900.0010, subpart 23, item H. Subp. 3. Prequalification requirements. A person or entity seeking prequalification status under this part must submit an application on a form prescribed by the agency. The agency shall review the application applying the standards in parts 4900.2901 to 4900.2907 and shall promptly notify the applicant of a decision on the application. Prequalification approval shall be for a maximum of two years. A rejection of the application must set forth the reasons for the denial. The applicant may qualify for any one or more of the following categories: A. single family or duplex dwelling; B. fewer than ten housing units; C. ten to 24 housing units; or D. 24 or more housing units.

Subp. 5. Properties. Receivers shall be awarded receivership revolving loans subject to the property considerations in items A to D: A. probability of loan repayment; B. availability of funding for necessary repairs, alterations, improvements, and operation; C. probable success of retention as low-income housing; and D. if items A to C have been considered, then an additional consideration may be other neighborhood revitalization factors.
Minnesota Rule 4900 § 4900.2902 establishes who may access the state's receivership revolving loan fund and under what conditions. A court-appointed receiver overseeing a residential property can qualify for a loan only if they meet prequalification standards, hold a valid court order under the relevant Minnesota statutes, and manage a property where at least half of occupied units are rented to low- and moderate-income households. The rule also sets out the experience, insurance, licensing, and financial-management criteria a receiver must satisfy, and directs the agency to weigh factors such as loan repayment likelihood and the property's viability as low-income housing when awarding loans.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners are not the direct applicants under Minn. R. 4900 § 4900.2902; rather, it is the court-appointed receiver who must seek prequalification through the agency's prescribed application process, which is valid for up to two years and covers specific property-size categories. Operators who manage distressed rental properties and anticipate receivership proceedings should be aware that a qualifying receiver must demonstrate at least two years of residential property management experience, maintain appropriate bonding and liability insurance, and comply with Minnesota real estate licensing requirements. Understanding these standards can help property owners and managers evaluate whether a prospective receiver is positioned to access revolving loan funds for necessary repairs and continued operation of the housing.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
For tenants living in a property subject to a court-ordered receivership, Minn. R. 4900 § 4900.2902 provides a framework that can bring a qualified manager and access to repair funding into a distressed building. The rule requires that at least 50 percent of occupied units in the property be occupied by low- and moderate-income residents, which means the fund is specifically oriented toward preserving affordable rental housing. Tenants who believe their building may qualify, or who have concerns about conditions in a property under receivership, may wish to contact a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand how these provisions could apply to their situation.
