If they don't leave voluntarily the only way under Minnesota Law is to commence eviction proceedings against them. Minnesota is not a "self-help" state. Only the sheriff can lawfully remove someone.

All you can do is start an eviction action in court.

If they have not paid rent, then serve a 3 day notice to pay or quit. Also at the same time, serve a 30 Day notice to terminate tenancy, assuming there is no written lease. If there is a written lease and if it expired, then provide notice to terminate per the terms of the lease. At the same time hire an attorney so that this is all performed properly and timely.

Nothing you need to go through and formally evict them if they will not move.

It's your word against theirs unless you have independent witness. Written notice is more reliable than verbal ntice so its better evidence of intent.
