Evictions for Landlords: A Theory

Landlords generally know they face two different legal cases in evictions: the eviction action (to get the squatters out of the property) and the conciliation court action (to get the money owed). Most landlords I'm aware file the eviction action, but not the conciliation court (or at least not until some time later). The result? A house, but no way to serve the former tenants.

My theory in evictions is to file the eviction action and the conciliation court action at the same time. That way, if your deadbeat tenant moves from Cambridge to Stillwater, you served them while in Cambridge and can get the conciliation court jurisdiction in Isanti County. It's much easier than trying to find them in Stillwater and having parallel actions in Isanti and Washington Counties.

That's my theory. It's proven much more successful than the standard course of action. Entities are not permitted to appear in court without a lawyer, so if your company has an eviction action to take on, I am here to represent you.
