508.13 REFERENCES TO EXAMINERS; POWERS; REPORTS.
Immediately after the filing of the abstract of title or other evidence of title acceptable to the examiner of titles, the court administrator shall refer the file to the examiner of titles, who shall proceed to examine into the title of the land described in the application, and into the truth of all matters set forth therein. The examiner shall ascertain whether or not the land is occupied, and, if occupied, shall ascertain the nature thereof, and by what right the occupation is held. The examiner shall also ascertain whether or not any judgments exist which may be a lien upon the land. The examiner shall search all public records, and fully investigate all facts pertaining to the title which may be brought to the examiner's notice, and shall file in the case a full report thereof, together with the examiner's opinion upon the title. The court shall not be bound by any report of the examiner of titles, but may require further or other proof. An examiner of titles shall have full power to administer oaths and examine witnesses concerning any matter involved in the examiner's investigation of titles. When, in the opinion of the examiner, the state has any interest in, or lien upon, the land, the examiner shall state the nature and character thereof in the examiner's report, and in such cases, the state shall be joined as a party, and named in the summons as a party thereto, in order that its interest, estate or lien may be defined and preserved. The court administrator shall give notice to the applicant of the filing of such report. If the report of the examiner is adverse to the applicant, the applicant shall have a reasonable time in which to proceed further, or to withdraw the application. This election shall be made in writing and filed with the court administrator. Examiners shall, upon the request of the registrar, advise the registrar upon any act or duty pertaining to the conduct of the office, or prepare the form of any memorial to be made or entered by the registrar.
In all cases where under the provisions of this chapter application is made to the court for any order or decree, the court may refer the matter to the examiner of titles for hearing and report in like manner as herein provided for the reference of the initial application for registration.
508A.13 EXAMINER'S REPORTS.
After the filing of the application for a CPT, the examiner of titles shall proceed to prepare a full written report to the applicant or the applicant's attorney based upon the examiner's examination of the application, abstract of title or other evidence of title, and the public records.
The examiner's report shall set forth all rights, titles, estates, liens, and interests in the real property. When in the opinion of the examiner the state has any interest in or lien upon the real property, this shall be fully set forth. The report shall be mailed to the applicant or the applicant's attorney and a copy shall be retained by the examiner.
The proceeding shall be suspended so long as the report of the examiner is adverse to the applicant or so long as valid written objections are still outstanding. The examiner shall mail written notice of the suspension to the applicant or the applicant's attorney.
The applicant or the applicant's attorney shall furnish the examiner on a prescribed form a list of the names and addresses of the persons listed by the examiner as having any right, title, estate, lien, or interest in the land sought to be registered under sections 508A.01 to 508A.85. If the addresses of any of these persons cannot be ascertained after a due and diligent search, the applicant or the applicant's attorney shall certify that fact.
There also shall be furnished to the examiner stamped envelopes addressed to those parties listed by the examiner whose addresses can be ascertained and a copy of the notice for each of these parties in the form prescribed in subdivision 5. The examiner shall then send by mail a copy of the notice to each of these parties. The certificate of the examiner that the examiner has mailed the notice shall be conclusive proof of mailing and shall be retained as a part of the examiner's files.
The examiner's notice shall be substantially in the following form:

Such answer, in addition to all other matters proper to be pleaded, shall set up any lien claimed by the defendant, and demand the enforcement thereof. No copies of such complaint or answer need be served on any party, upon demand or otherwise, and all averments of the answer shall be taken as denied without further pleading.
505.15 CERTAIN PLATS VALIDATED.
In all cases where the record owner of real estate in this state has heretofore conveyed the same, or any part thereof, by express reference in the instrument of such conveyance to a plat of such real estate on file in the office of the county recorder in the county in which such real estate is situated, and a plat so referred to in said conveyance is actually of record in such recorder's office at the time when such conveyance is made, such record owner and all persons claiming under such record owner, shall be forever estopped from questioning the validity of such plat, notwithstanding that at the time of the execution and record thereof, title to the premises covered thereby, appears of record to have been in the name of a person other than the person who executed such plat as proprietor of the premises covered thereby, and notwithstanding any irregularity or informality in the execution, acceptance, or record of such plat. In all such cases such plat shall be deemed and taken to be valid, confirmed, and legalized in all respects as if actually executed and recorded by the persons who appear of record to have been the owners of the premises covered thereby at the time of the execution and record thereof.

(2) a court of this state or a court of another state determines that the child, the child's parents, and any person acting as a parent do not presently reside in this state.
(b) A court of this state which has made a child custody determination and does not have exclusive, continuing jurisdiction under this section may modify that determination only if it has jurisdiction to make an initial determination under section 518D.201.
518E.305 EFFECT OF PRIOR JUDICIAL ORDER OR AGREEMENT.
In a proceeding for a grant of custodial responsibility pursuant to sections 518E.301 to 518E.311, the following rules apply:
(1) a prior judicial order designating custodial responsibility in the event of deployment is binding on the court unless the circumstances meet the requirements of law of this state other than this chapter for modifying a judicial order regarding custodial responsibility; and

504B.144 EARLY RENEWAL OF LEASE.
A landlord may not require a tenant to renew a lease sooner than six months prior to the expiration of the current lease, if the lease is for a period of time longer than ten months. Nothing prevents a landlord from waiting until closer to the expiration of a lease to ask a tenant to renew the lease. 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.
508A.14 COUNTY SURVEYOR.

(1) the court of the other state determines it no longer has exclusive, continuing jurisdiction under section 518D.202 or that a court of this state would be a more convenient forum under section 518D.207; or
(2) a court of this state or a court of the other state determines that the child, the child's parents, and any person acting as a parent do not presently reside in the other state.
514.13 STATUTORY LIENHOLDER RIGHTS; NONEXCLUSIVE.
The rights granted by this chapter are nonexclusive. No failure to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter shall affect the right of any person to recover, in an ordinary civil action, from the party with whom a contract was made.
505.16 APPLICATION.
Section 505.15 shall apply to all plats heretofore recorded of any townsite and to any addition to any townsite and to any addition to any town or city within the state.
508.15 ORDER FOR SUMMONS; PARTIES DEFENDANT.
If, in the opinion of the examiner, the applicant has a title to the land proper for registration, or if the applicant, after an adverse opinion of the examiner, elects to proceed further, the applicant shall file with the court administrator a verified petition praying that a summons may be issued in the proceeding. The court shall thereupon examine all the files and records of the proceeding and, by its order, direct that a summons be issued therein. This order shall contain the name and address, so far as known, of every person who is to be joined as a party to the proceeding, including all persons named in the application, or found by the report of the examiner to be in possession of the land, or as having any right, title, interest, or estate therein, or any lien or encumbrance upon or against the same, together with the name and address of all other persons or parties whom the court, in its order, may direct to be joined therein. The parties thus named in the order of the court shall be, and shall be known as, defendants.
When the description in the application includes land which, according to the plat of the United States Government Survey, forms part or all of the bed of a meandered stream or lake, the state of Minnesota shall be made a party defendant. In all cases where decree of registration has been heretofore entered for any such land without the state having been joined and served with summons, it shall be deemed that title had heretofore passed to the applicant by reliction or accretion.
508A.17 LIMITATION ON ACTIONS.
As against a title to land registered under a CPT which has been entered and maintained by the registrar under sections 508A.01 to 508A.85, no action affecting the possession or title to the land shall be commenced by any person, partnership, corporation, state, or political subdivision to enforce any right, title, estate, lien, or interest founded upon any instrument, event, or transaction which was executed or occurred before the entry of the first CPT and which is not set out as a separate memorial on the CPT or covered by section 508A.25, clauses (1) to (5) and (8), unless the action is commenced and a notice of lis pendens of it is registered upon the CPT within a period of five years from the date of the first CPT.
Any claimant to any interest adverse to the applicant already barred by some other statute or rule of law shall not acquire any renewed rights or extensions by reason of sections 508A.01 to 508A.85.
514.12 NOTICE OF LIS PENDENS.
At the beginning of the action the plaintiff shall file for record with the county recorder or, if registered land, with the registrar of titles of the county in which it is brought, and of the several counties if the lien be claimed under section 514.04, a notice of the pendency thereof, embracing therein a copy of the summons, omitting the caption.
After such filing, no other action shall be commenced for the enforcement of any lien arising from the improvement described, but all such lienholders shall intervene in the original action by answer, as provided in section 514.11. Any such lienholder not named as a defendant may answer the complaint and be admitted as a party. If more than one action shall be commenced in good faith, all shall be consolidated and tried as one, under such order of the court as may best protect the rights of all parties concerned.
No lien shall be enforced in any case unless the holder thereof shall assert the same, either by filing a complaint or answer with the court administrator, within one year after the date of the last item of the claim as set forth in the recorded lien statement; and, no person shall be bound by any judgment in such action unless made a party thereto within the year; and, as to a bona fide purchaser, mortgagee, or encumbrancer without notice, the absence from the record of a notice of lis pendens of an action after the expiration of the year in which the lien could be so asserted shall be conclusive evidence that the lien may no longer be enforced and, in the case of registered land, the registrar of titles shall refrain from carrying forward to new certificates of title the memorials of lien statements when no such notice of lis pendens has been registered within the period.
515.14 BLANKET MORTGAGE LIEN ON APARTMENT WHEN FIRST CONVEYED.
At the time of the first conveyance of each apartment, every mortgage and other lien affecting such apartment, including the percentage of undivided interest of the apartment in the common areas and facilities, shall be paid and satisfied of record, or the apartment being conveyed and its percentage of undivided interest in the common areas and facilities shall be released therefrom by partial release duly recorded.
518E.306 GRANT OF CARETAKING OR DECISION-MAKING AUTHORITY TO NONPARENT.
(a) On motion of a deploying parent and in accordance with law of this state other than this chapter, if it is in the best interests of the child, a court may grant caretaking authority to a nonparent who is an adult family member of the child or to another adult. The individual who is granted caretaking authority must have a close and substantial relationship with the child.
(b) Unless a grant of caretaking authority to a nonparent under paragraph (a) is agreed to by the other parent, the grant is limited to an amount of time not greater than:
(1) the amount of time granted to the deploying parent under a permanent custody order, but the court may add unusual travel time necessary to transport the child; or
(2) in the absence of a permanent custody order that is currently in effect, the amount of time that the deploying parent habitually cared for the child before being notified of deployment, but the court may add unusual travel time necessary to transport the child.
(c) A court may grant part of a deploying parent's decision-making authority to a nonparent who is an adult family member of the child or another adult only if granting part of the deploying parent's decision-making authority is in the best interests of the child and the deploying parent is unable to exercise that authority. The individual who is granted decision-making authority must have a close and substantial relationship with the child. If a court grants the authority to a nonparent, the court shall specify the decision-making powers granted, including decisions regarding the child's education, religious training, health care, extracurricular activities, and travel.
504B.145 RESTRICTION ON AUTOMATIC RENEWALS OF LEASES.
Notwithstanding the provisions of any residential lease, in order to enforce any automatic renewal clause of a lease of an original term of two months or more which states, in effect, that the term shall be deemed renewed for a specified additional period of time of two months or more unless the tenant gives notice to the landlord of an intention to quit the premises at the expiration of the term due to expire, the landlord must give notice to the tenant as provided in this section. The notice must be in writing and direct the tenant's attention to the automatic renewal provision of the lease. The notice must be served personally or mailed by certified mail at least 15 days, but not more than 30 days prior to the time that the tenant is required to furnish notice of an intention to quit.
