(i) the issuing court did not have jurisdiction under sections 518D.201 to 518D.210;

At a reasonable time, but no earlier than five days before the termination or the end of the lease date, or day the tenant plans to vacate the unit, the landlord, or an agent of the landlord, shall, upon the request of the tenant, make a move-out inspection of the premises. The purpose of the move-out inspection shall be to allow the tenant an opportunity to remedy identified deficiencies, in a manner consistent with the rights and obligations of the parties under the rental agreement, in order to avoid deductions from the security deposit.

The application for the warrant must include the statements required by section 518D.308, paragraph (b).
(c) A warrant to take physical custody of a child must:
(1) recite the facts upon which a conclusion of imminent serious physical harm or removal from the jurisdiction is based;

(3) provide for the placement of the child pending final relief.
(d) The respondent must be served with the petition, warrant, and order immediately after the child is taken into physical custody.

Instruments affecting the title to land, filed with the registrar pursuant to sections 508A.01 to 508A.85, shall be numbered consecutively by the registrar to the extent practicable and the registrar shall endorse upon each instrument over the registrar's official signature, OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR OF TITLES, ... COUNTY, MINNESOTA, CERTIFIED AND FILED ON, together with the date, hour, and minute when the instrument is filed, the document number thereof, and a reference to the proper CPT.

Instruments shall then be returned in person or by mail to the party who presented the instruments for filing or to any other party to whom the registrar is directed to deliver the instruments. When the memorial of any instrument is made upon any CPT, the date, number, and time of filing of it shall also be endorsed upon the CPT. All records and papers relating to registered land in the office of the registrar shall be open to the inspection of the public at the times and under the conditions as the court may prescribe. Duplicates of all instruments, voluntary or involuntary, filed and registered with the registrar, may be presented with the originals, and shall thereupon be endorsed with the file number, and other memoranda on the originals, and may be attested and sealed by the registrar, and returned to the person presenting them.

(a) The court shall award the prevailing party, including a state, necessary and reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of the party, including costs, communication expenses, attorney's fees, investigative fees, expenses for witnesses, travel expenses, and child care during the course of the proceedings, unless the party from whom fees or expenses are sought establishes that the award would be clearly inappropriate.
(b) The court may not assess fees, costs, or expenses against a state unless authorized by law other than this chapter.
505.25 WHEN USE OF COORDINATES SUPPLEMENTAL.
Whenever coordinates based on the Minnesota Coordinate System are used to describe any tract of land which in the same document is also described by reference to any subdivision, line, or corner of the United States public land surveys, the description by coordinates shall be construed as supplemental to the basic description of such subdivision, line, or corner contained in the official plats and field notes filed of record, and in the event of any conflict the description by reference to the subdivision, line, or corner of the United States public land surveys shall prevail over the description by coordinates.
508.33 DEPUTIES.
The registrar of titles may appoint one or more deputy registrars of titles, who may also be deputy county recorders, to act in the registrar's stead. Deputy registrars shall act in the name of the registrar and their acts shall be the registrar's acts. The registrar shall be liable for any neglect or omission of a deputy to the same extent as for the registrar's own neglect or omission. The registrar may, with the consent of the county board, employ such clerks as may be required to properly perform the duties of office. In all counties in which the county recorder does not receive the fees of the office in lieu of a salary, the county board shall fix the compensation of all deputy registrars and clerks appointed or employed by the registrar which shall be paid out of any county funds not otherwise appropriated.
508A.381 OFFICIAL RECORDS; COMPILATION, MAINTENANCE, AND STORAGE OF INFORMATION.
The registrar of titles may select and use alternative methods for the compilation, maintenance, and storage of the information contained in the official records listed in sections 508A.34 and 508A.37, subject to the following conditions:
(1) the methods selected must provide for access to the information contained in the records by those authorized by law to have access to that information; and
(2) the methods selected must provide for the preservation of the information contained in the records to the extent specified by law.
504B.195 DISCLOSURE REQUIRED FOR OUTSTANDING INSPECTION AND CONDEMNATION ORDERS.
(a) Except as provided in subdivision 3, a landlord, agent, or person acting under the landlord's direction or control shall provide a copy of all outstanding inspection orders for which a citation has been issued, pertaining to a rental unit or common area, specifying code violations issued under section 504B.185, that the housing inspector identifies as requiring notice because the violations threaten the health or safety of the tenant, and all outstanding condemnation orders and declarations that the premises are unfit for human habitation to:
(1) a tenant, either by delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, within 72 hours after issuance of the citation;
(2) a person before signing a lease or paying rent or a security deposit to begin a new tenancy; and
(3) a person prior to obtaining new ownership of the property subject to the order or declaration. The housing inspector shall indicate on the inspection order whether the violation threatens the health or safety of a tenant or prospective tenant.
(b) If an inspection order, for which a citation has been issued, does not involve code violations that threaten the health or safety of the tenants, the landlord, agent, or person acting under the landlord's control shall post a summary of the inspection order in a conspicuous place in each building affected by the inspection order, along with a notice that the inspection order will be made available by the landlord for review, upon a request of a tenant or prospective tenant. The landlord shall provide a copy of the inspection order for review by a tenant or a prospective tenant as required under this subdivision.
If the landlord, agent, or person acting under the landlord's direction or control violates this section, the tenant is entitled to remedies provided by section 8.31, subdivision 3a, and other equitable relief as determined by the court.
A landlord, agent, or person acting under the landlord's direction or control is not in violation of this section if:
(1) the landlord, agent, or person acting under the landlord's direction or control has received only an initial order to repair;
(2) the time allowed to complete the repairs, including any extension of the deadline, has not yet expired, or less than 60 days has elapsed since the expiration date of repair orders and any extension or no citation has been issued; or
(3) the landlord, agent, or person acting under the landlord's direction or control completes the repairs within the time given to repair, including any extension of the deadline.
It is an affirmative defense in an action brought under this section for the landlord, agent, or person acting under the landlord's control to prove that disclosure was made as required under subdivision 1.
The remedies provided in this section are in addition to and shall not limit other rights or remedies available to landlords and tenants. Any provision, whether oral or written, of any lease or other agreement, whereby any provision of this section is waived by a tenant, is contrary to public policy and void.
507.19 CONVEYANCE BY TENANT FOR LIFE OR YEARS; NO FORFEITURE.
A conveyance made by a tenant for life or years, purporting to grant a greater estate than the tenant possessed or could lawfully convey, shall not work a forfeiture of the estate of a tenant for life or years, but shall pass to the grantee all the estate which such tenant could lawfully convey.
505.26 DESCRIPTION NOT EXCLUSIVE.
Nothing contained in sections 505.18 to 505.26 shall require any purchaser or mortgagee to rely on a description, any part of which depends exclusively upon the Minnesota coordinate system.
518D.313 RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT.
A court of this state shall accord full faith and credit to an order issued by another state and consistent with this chapter which enforces a child custody determination by a court of another state unless the order has been vacated, stayed, or modified by a court having jurisdiction to do so under sections 518D.201 to 518D.210.
508.34 REGISTER OF TITLES.
Immediately upon the filing of the decree of registration with the registrar, the registrar shall proceed to register the title pursuant to the terms of the decree in the manner herein provided. The registrar shall keep a book known as the "Register of Titles," and shall enter all first and subsequent certificates of title by binding or entering them therein in the order of their numbers, beginning with number one. The entering of the certificate of title in the register of titles shall constitute the act of registration. The term "certificate of title" shall be deemed to include all memorials and notations thereon, and each certificate of title shall contain proper blanks for the entry of the memorials and notations thereon. Each certificate shall constitute a separate page of such book, and all memorials and notations that may be entered by the registrar shall be entered by the registrar upon the page whereon the latest certificate of title is entered.
504B.204 ACTION FOR RENTAL OF CONDEMNED RESIDENTIAL PREMISES.
(a) A landlord, agent, or person acting under the landlord's direction or control may not accept rent or a security deposit for residential rental property from a tenant after the leased premises have been (1) condemned or declared unfit for human habitation, (2) ordered to be vacated due to violations of a housing, health, or fire code or rental licensing ordinance by the applicable federal, state, or local authority, or (3) ordered to be vacated pursuant to a government taking. If a landlord, agent, or a person acting under the landlord's direction or control violates this section, the landlord is liable to the tenant for actual damages and an amount equal to three times the amount of all money collected from the tenant after date of condemnation or declaration, plus costs and attorney fees. A violation of this section violates section 504B.161. This section shall be liberally construed for the protection of tenants.
(b) The remedies provided in this section are in addition to and shall not limit other rights or remedies available to landlords and tenants. Any provision, whether oral or written, of any lease or other agreement, whereby any provision of this section is waived by a tenant, is contrary to public policy and void.
507.20 GRANTOR TO MAKE KNOWN ENCUMBRANCE.
In all conveyances by deed or mortgage of real estate upon which any encumbrance exists, the grantor, whether executing the same in the grantor's own right, or as executor, administrator, assignee, trustee, or otherwise by authority of law, shall, before the consideration is paid, by exception in the deed or otherwise, make known to the grantee the existence and nature of such encumbrance, so far as the grantor has knowledge thereof.
513.33 CREDIT AGREEMENTS.
For the purposes of this section, the following terms have the meanings given them:
(1) "credit agreement" means an agreement to lend or forbear repayment of money, goods, or things in action, to otherwise extend credit, or to make any other financial accommodation;

(3) "debtor" means a person who obtains credit or seeks a credit agreement with a creditor or who owes money to a creditor; and
(4) "signed" has the meaning specified in section 336.1-201(b)(37).
A debtor may not maintain an action on a credit agreement unless the agreement is in writing, expresses consideration, sets forth the relevant terms and conditions, and is signed by the creditor and the debtor.

(1) the rendering of financial advice by a creditor to a debtor;
(2) the consultation by a creditor with a debtor; or
(3) the agreement by a creditor to take certain actions, such as entering into a new credit agreement, forbearing from exercising remedies under prior credit agreements, or extending installments due under prior credit agreements.

508A.39 NOTICES AFTER REGISTRATION; SERVICE.
All notices required by sections 508A.01 to 508A.85, after the original registration, either by the registrar or by the court, shall be served on the persons to be notified in the following manner: The notice shall be served upon a resident of the state in the manner now provided by law for the service of a summons in a civil action, and the same proof of service shall be made. It shall be served upon a person who is not a resident of the state by sending the same by mail to the person at the person's post office address, as stated in the CPT or in any registered instrument on file with the registrar. The certificate of the registrar or court administrator that any notice has been mailed as required shall be conclusive proof of the service of the notice, but the court may, in any case, order different or other service of it by publication or otherwise.
