[ST. PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz today signed Executive Order 20-73, which makes a technical update to Executive Order 20-14.
Executive Order 20-73 clarifies that Executive Order 20-14, which suspends evictions and writs of recovery during the COVID-19 peacetime emergency, does not apply to situations where a tenant seriously endangers the safety of others – either residents or non-residents – on the property. This action aligns the guidance on evictions with the original intent of Executive Order 20-14, which was to create exceptions for dangerous situations.
This executive order is effective immediately upon approval by the Minnesota Executive Council.
