The 2010s were a decade of evictions, and Minnesota was hit hard. With laws that allow landlords to evict tenants with only 14 days’ notice, Minnesota leads the nation in eviction rates (MinnPost, 5/31/19). Once evicted, residents often end up in court without legal representation. With an eviction on record, securing future housing is more difficult, and can sometimes lead families into homelessness.

Additionally, evictions affect communities of color disproportionately. According to a 2019 University of Minnesota study, single African American women are statistically the most evicted demographic in the Twin Cities.

What can be done to reduce evictions in Minnesota? Where can tenants go for legal support? We explore the challenges and potential policies around this important issue.
