Comments on: Is it legal to prevent a tenant from moving out of a rental unit in winter in Minnesota? http://www.legaldot.net/blog/is-it-legal-to-prevent-a-tenant-from-moving-out-of-a-rental-unit-in-winter-in-minnesota/ Thu, 17 May 2012 12:42:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Jilly http://www.legaldot.net/blog/is-it-legal-to-prevent-a-tenant-from-moving-out-of-a-rental-unit-in-winter-in-minnesota/comment-page-1/#comment-2596 Jilly Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:46:19 +0000 http://www.legaldot.net/blog/is-it-legal-to-prevent-a-tenant-from-moving-out-of-a-rental-unit-in-winter-in-minnesota/#comment-2596 I've rented a lot of apartments in Minnesota and I've never heard of this. Unfortunately, when he signed the lease he agreed to the terms. Not a whole lot he can do about it now. However, I find people are much more reasonable if you just talk to them about what's going on. You'd be amazed what can be accomplished with a simple phone call. Sometimes clauses like that are designed to limit landlord liability and if the tenant assumes their own liability for moving in the winter, I don't see why there should be a problem. Plus, we're supposed to have a milder winter this year. Here's hoping.<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/universities-by-degree-program.htm"> Jilly</a> I’ve rented a lot of apartments in Minnesota and I’ve never heard of this.

Given the harsh winters, and potential difficulties finding a tenant during those months, then it is definetley reasonable. He signed, and agreed to it. Any issue with this clause should have been brought up at time of signing the lease.
