2005 Minnesota Statutes - 561.17 — Action for waste.

     561.17 Action for waste.  


    If a guardian, tenant for life or years, joint tenant, or 
 tenant in common, of real property, commits waste thereon, any 
 person injured by the waste may bring an action against the 
 waster therefor, in which there may be judgment for treble 
 damages, forfeiture of the estate of the party offending, and 
 eviction from the property.  Judgment of forfeiture and eviction 
 can only be given in favor of the person entitled to the 
 reversion, against the tenant in possession when the injury to 
 the estate in reversion is adjudged in the action to be equal to 
 the value of the tenant's estate or unexpired term, or to have 
 been done in malice.
