Supreme Court of Minnesota
1. The common law rule that a landlord who accepts rent with knowledge of a tenant’s breach waives the right to evict based on that breach applies equally to private and publicly subsidized tenancies. 2. Whether a landlord has accepted rent for the purpose of the waiver-by- acceptance doctrine is a question of fact that is determined based on the totality of the circumstances, including a landlord’s conduct after a rental payment is made. Reversed and remanded.
