Minn. Stat. § 327C § 327C.11
EVICTION PROCEEDINGS.
Operative Text
Subdivision 1.Right of redemption. The right of redemption, as expressed in section 504B.291 and the common law, is available to a resident from whom a park owner seeks to recover possession for nonpayment of rent, but no resident may exercise that right more than twice in any 12-month period; provided, that a resident may exercise the right of redemption more than twice in any 12-month period by paying the park owner's actual reasonable attorney's fees as part of each additional exercise of that right during the 12-month period. Subd. 2.Waiver by accepting rent. A park owner who gives a resident a notice as provided in section 327C.09, subdivision 3, 4, 6, or 8, or 327C.095, does not waive the notice by afterwards accepting rent. Acceptance of rent for a period after the expiration of a final notice to quit waives that notice unless the parties agree in writing after service of the notice that the notice continues in effect. Subd. 3.Writ of recovery stayed. The issuance of a writ of recovery, other than a conditional writ, shall be stayed for a reasonable period not to exceed seven days to allow the resident to arrange to remove the resident's home from the lot. Subd. 4.Conditional writ. Where the interests of justice require the court may issue a conditional writ of recovery, which orders the resident and all those in the resident's household to stop residing in the park within a reasonable period not to exceed seven days, but which allows the resident's home to remain on the lot for 60 days for the purpose of an in park sale, as provided in section 327C.07. The writ shall also direct the park owner to notify any party holding a security interest in the resident's home and known to the park owner, of the provisions of the writ. If the court issues a conditional writ, the resident may keep the home on the lot for 60 days for an in park sale if: (1) neither the resident nor members of the resident's household reside in the park; (2) the resident complies with all rules relating to home and lot maintenance; and (3) the resident pays on time all rent and utility charges owed to the park owner. If the resident fails to meet any of these conditions, the park owner may, on three days' written notice to the resident, move the court for an order making the writ of recovery unconditional. Sixty-one days after the issuance of a conditional writ, the writ shall become absolute without further court action.
Minn. Stat. § 327C.11 governs eviction proceedings in manufactured home parks in Minnesota. It establishes that residents facing eviction for nonpayment of rent retain a right of redemption, though that right is limited to twice in any 12-month period unless the resident pays the park owner's reasonable attorney's fees for each additional exercise. The statute also addresses how notices to quit interact with rent acceptance, sets a short stay on writs of recovery to allow residents time to move their homes, and creates a conditional writ process that lets a resident's home remain on the lot for up to 60 days for an in-park sale even after the resident must vacate.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Minn. Stat. § 327C.11, park operators should be aware that accepting rent after serving certain statutory notices does not automatically waive those notices, with a key exception for rent accepted after a final notice to quit has expired. Compliant operators typically track how many times a resident has exercised the right of redemption within a rolling 12-month period and document any attorney's fees incurred when that right is exercised more than twice. When a writ of recovery is issued, operators should be prepared for a court-ordered stay of up to seven days, and if a conditional writ is issued, they must notify any known security-interest holders and monitor whether the resident is meeting the three ongoing conditions that allow the home to remain on the lot.

Minn. Stat. § 327C.11 gives manufactured home park residents important protections during eviction proceedings, including the right to redeem a tenancy threatened by nonpayment of rent—up to twice in a 12-month period without paying attorney's fees, and additional times if those fees are covered. If a court issues a writ of recovery, residents generally have at least a short window of up to seven days to arrange removal of their home, and a conditional writ may allow the home to stay on the lot for 60 days to pursue an in-park sale. Residents who believe their rights under this provision have been violated may consider contacting a tenant-rights organization, a legal aid office, or raising the statutory protections as a defense in any pending court proceeding.
