327C.11 EVICTION PROCEEDINGS.
Subd. 4.
Conditional writ.
Where the interests of justice require the court may issue a conditional writ of recovery, which orders the resident and all those in the resident's household to stop residing in the park within a reasonable period not to exceed seven days, but which allows the resident's home to remain on the lot for 60 days for the purpose of an in park sale, as provided in section 327C.07. The writ shall also direct the park owner to notify any party holding a security interest in the resident's home and known to the park owner, of the provisions of the writ. If the court issues a conditional writ, the resident may keep the home on the lot for 60 days for an in park sale if:
(1) neither the resident nor members of the resident's household reside in the park;
(2) the resident complies with all rules relating to home and lot maintenance; and
(3) the resident pays on time all rent and utility charges owed to the park owner. If the resident fails to meet any of these conditions, the park owner may, on three days' written notice to the resident, move the court for an order making the writ of recovery unconditional. Sixty-one days after the issuance of a conditional writ, the writ shall become absolute without further court action.
