Laurie asked:


My boyfriend would like to move out of his apartment on December 31st. His lease is month to month with 46 days’ notice, but has a clause that prevents him from terminating the lease from December 1 to February 28th. Is this a legal and enforcable lease clause in the state of Minnesota?
