Tenant Staying Beyond Lease

[Scott Brown]

Lease ended July 31, tenant asked for more time to move so charging him a daily rate.  Still has some a few items in the house and boxes and furniture in garage.  The house is still a mess, didn’t clean at all. At what point can we change the locks and throw stuff in the dumpster  if doesn’t get out before a final deadline this Sunday?  Does the tenant have any rights to retrieve property if he is beyond the lease?  House is in Minnesota.

Most state regulations require a landlord to evict a hold over tenant if they do not leave voluntarily.

You should not have agreed to allow them to stay beyond the end of their lease. No good deed ever goes unpunished.
