FAQ
The bringing to an end of a legal right or interest, usually a proprietary interest. Forfeiture generally occurs where one party exercises a legal right that results in a second party forfeiting, or losing, a right or interest.
Forfeit or forfeiture means losing a right, privilege, or property without compensation as a consequence of violating the law, breaching a legal obligation, failing to perform a contractual obligation or condition, or neglecting a legal duty.
Relief against forfeiture is effectively a court order overturning or blocking a landlord's right to terminate a lease or evict a tenant.
Tenant waives all rights of redemption or relief from forfeiture under any present or future laws or statutes, in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord otherwise lawfully takes possession of the Premises by reason of any default by Tenant under this Lease.
Administrative forfeiture allows the government to dispose of property without a judicial order unless the owner challenges the forfeiture. Law enforcement must give the owner notice of the seizure, but the owner is responsible for filing a challenge with the court.
If you are interested in purchasing tax-forfeited land, please contact the county auditor or county land department in the county in which the land is located. (Find your county offices using the State of Minnesota county search opens in a new browser tab.)
