484.014 HOUSING RECORDS; EXPUNGEMENT OF EVICTION INFORMATION.
Subdivision 1. Definitions. For the purpose of this section, the following terms have the
meanings given:
(1) "expungement" means the removal of evidence of the court file's existence from the
publicly accessible records;
(2) "eviction case" means an action brought under sections 504B.281 to 504B.371; and
(3) "court file" means the court file created when an eviction case is filed with the court.
Subd. 2. Discretionary expungement. The court may order expungement of an eviction case
court file only upon motion of a defendant and decision by the court, if the court finds that the
plaintiff's case is sufficiently without basis in fact or law, which may include lack of jurisdiction
over the case, that expungement is clearly in the interests of justice and those interests are not
outweighed by the public's interest in knowing about the record.
