Minnesota tenant rights and personal belongings. I am the only signee on the lease . My exboyfriend is listed as a person staying there. I want him out die to his alcohol abuse and mostly the constant emotional and mental abuse he is putting my children and I in. I'm in the process of a restraining order. He won't leave so therefore out of fear and Anna the safety of my childrenI left without any personal belongings . He said today to I and the cops that is he could get the kayaks, tents, generator out of my van that he would leave so even tho we both purchased these items I have them all to him so he would leave and I and the children could return home. But now he is dating to the police and I that he needs * to 2 days so he can get a uhaul to remove all items out of the house claiming it's all his when it's not.. it's the kids and I stuff too. The police say there is nothing they can do to stop him. Please help me. I'm a single mom to * kids whose father committed suicide a couple years ago and I just want him out so my children and I can return home.
