Quite often a property owner will find themselves violating the law while attempting to make the best of their personal foreclosure situation. In most situations, when a tenant is renting a Minnesota foreclosed property, the tenant has certain rights that must be protected by the property owner (borrower) and by the lender.
In many foreclosure situations, a tenant of residential property will be entitled to 90-day notice and completion of their lease term. The sale or transfer of property does not terminate a lease. There are exceptions, including when the foreclosure purchaser intends to occupy the property. In that case, a tenant is still entitled to a 90-day notice.
