The notice periods Minnesota law sets for ending a periodic tenancy, as LeaseCraft read them in the statute, with the conditions and exceptions that go with each. The guided form prepares the notice to vacate with Minnesota already selected.
Minnesota notice periods
Each period is the one LeaseCraft's record of the statute holds. Read it with the conditions under it: some periods are minimums and some apply unless the lease sets another. "Lease controls" means the record holds no statutory period for that situation, and "No pre-suit notice" means it holds no notice before filing. The source column shows the law and the date LeaseCraft read it on the official site (most recently 2026-09-27).

What the Minnesota statute says
Ending a month-to-month tenancy: 30 days
- Written notice at least as long as the interval between the times rent is due, or three months, whichever is less — for monthly rent, one rental month (recorded as 30 days).
Ending a week-to-week tenancy: 7 days
- Same rule: notice at least as long as the rent interval (one week for weekly rent).
Delivery, form and other Minnesota rules
Statewide just-cause rule
No statewide just-cause requirement
- No statewide just-cause requirement; a tenancy at will ends on the §504B.135 notice and eviction lies for holding over after notice to quit (§504B.285 subd. 1(a)(3)).

How the notice may be delivered
The 14-day nonpayment notice must be delivered personally or by first class mail to the residential tenant at the address of the leased premises (§504B.321 subd. 1a); §504B.135 requires only 'notice in writing' for terminating a tenancy at will, method unspecified.

City and county rules
Could not verify LeaseCraft has not verified this at the official source (Minneapolis Code — Rental Pre-Eviction Notification Ordinance; Minn. Stat. §504B.321 subd. 1a(c)), so this page states no rule. Check it before you serve the notice.
Preparing the notice
The form asks for the tenancy, the date the tenant must leave and how the notice is delivered, and states the notice period plainly. You enter the period; where LeaseCraft has verified the Minnesota period for ending a month-to-month tenancy, it refuses a shorter one.

A notice is not a court order and does not by itself remove a tenant. Cities and counties can add rules. LeaseCraft is not a law firm and this is not legal advice.
