State Specific Question About: MINNESOTA (MN)

Does anyone have a form or list of questions they use for inherited tenants, regarding job, emergency contacts, even social security number, etc?

I have an inherited tenant who has lived in a fourplex for a more than 10 years. I bought this building more than five years ago, and I let it slide because he is a professional who I thought would soon buy a house. I know, excuses. Excuses.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Ann

I would ask for

1. current employer, supervisor's name, and thier direct work number

2. SSN

3. emergency contact (name, phone, and relationship)

4. make/ model of current vehicle and license tab number (or you could just observe their vehicle and not ask directly for this)

From their monthly rent check, I would make a note of their bank name and account number.

Since this tenant has gone so long without you asking for any info, I'd be ready, if they ask, with a casual comment about why you want it. "Oh it just dawned on me that if there ever was an emergency (fire/ break in) whle you were gone that I might need a way to contact you some other way than using your cell/ landline." If they balk at giving you their SSN, I'd tell them I need it to comply with the MN statutes related to properly crediting their security deposit interest. --129.176.xxx.xx

Did you not get copies of the leases and applications when you bought the building along with their Security deposits? --24.115.xxx.xxx

Thanks to all for the information. I know that he will ask about why I need the SSN. I like Jody's suggestion about reporting interest payments.

The previous landlord didn't screen except by "gut feel". Still, I might have taken care of this a long time ago. --204.169.xx.xxx
