Property owners involved in a court-administered rental property should be aware that Minn. Stat. § 504B.455 establishes a formal process for changing administrators. A compliant and engaged landlord typically monitors the administration, participates in any hearings, and ensures they receive proper notice of any petition—whether filed by the administrator or another party. Landlords generally maintain records that could be relevant to any accounting the court may require upon a change in administrator.
