1998 Minnesota Statutes

     231.13 Charging more or less than the published rate; 
  storing household goods. 

    Except as specified in sections 231.11 and 231.12, no 
 warehouse operator storing household goods shall have, demand, 
 collect, or receive, a greater or less or different compensation 
 for any service rendered or for storing any household goods than 
 the rates applicable to such service or storage, as specified in 
 the schedules of rates on file with the commissioner and in 
 effect at the time.  

    When a warehouse operator shall have had household goods in 
 store for such a period that the storage charges thereon 
 accumulated are more than such household goods would bring at a 
 forced sale, the department, upon written application and proof 
 thereof, may authorize such warehouse operator to compromise 
 such charges for a sum not less than the amount which such 
 household goods would bring at such forced sale.
