Last reviewed 2026-10-15

What happens to the lease when a tenant dies in Minnesota?

After the death of the tenant (or of all tenants), either the landlord or the estate's personal representative may end the lease with at least two months' written notice, effective on the last day of a calendar month. The estate still owes rent through the termination date.
