I got an eviction notice during this even though i was paying my bills. Have receipts.
Hello Jay,
In Minnesota, it's illegal to evict someone without a court order. If you have proof of your payments, you can defend your case:
- Gather all your payment receipts
- Prepare to show any communication related to eviction
- Consult a legal aid office for further assistance.
