IANAL
Did he provide this notice to you in either your 3rd or 4th week of tenancy.
Quote:
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.
Also, eviction is a legal action. Just because he files it does not mean it is granted. Future landlords could learn about it if he was successful, but only because it is a public record. So not sure what you mean by your record. It would be a civil claim though, not a criminal matter unless MN has some weird criminal eviction statute. GF and I both think it would have to be a breach of contract claim since you are not in possession of the property, but I don't really want to research it because I'm trying to drink for LSU.
Associated notes and **** I'm only including because I've been drinking. If it were me (living in MN), which is the framework in which I am viewing/discussing all of this, I would lol if he threatened eviction because I'd know he's going to be wasting two bills right off the bat unless someone catches the lack of possession issue and hence that evicton may be a filing, and then I'd have the back-up dismissal ground of lack of notice. That is just me though, because if **** hit the fan I could both handle it cheaply and would probably net positively enjoy the whole process even if I had to pay money in the end because I would know that I probably really pissed someone off in the process. And that someone is a person that turns the screws on clueless people like you.
IANAL
