Drug Policy

Northern Management has a ZERO tolerance policy for the use, possession, manufacturing or sale of illegal drugs of any sort. Residents (or their visitors) violating their lease through such activities will be promptly evicted from the premises. Minnesota Law is very clear on this matter.

Every oral or written lease in Minnesota now includes a promise by the resident not to use or allow the making, selling, giving away, bartering, delivering, exchanging, distribution, use or possession of illegal drugs on the premises. A resident violating this law loses the right to possess the rental property and Management can and should promptly evict the resident (Minn. Stat. 504.181, subd. 1 (1992)). All other provisions of the lease, including but not limited to the resident's obligation to pay rent; remain in effect until the lease is terminated by the terms of the lease or operation of law.

Additionally, if illegal drugs or contraband totaling more than $100 are seized from the property, Management is required, upon notification, to promptly evict the resident, or to assign the county attorney that right (Minn. Stat. 609.5317, subd. 1 (b) (1992)).

The tried and true saying remains the simple answer--indeed, the ONLY answer: “Just say NO to drugs!”
