    RE: A conservatorship for an elderly adult who has recently died. A hearing has been scheduled on the Final Account (FA) and termination of the conservatorship.

    Harassment/exploitation by live-in caretaker in rooming house

    Yes, lawsuits are about money. Not necessarily financial loss though. Although I've had that here too. The yard work is an easy one: compensation is specifically provided for under Minnesota tenant law, no interpretation required. I covered that in my original post; please read it...

    Harassment/exploitation by live-in caretaker in rooming house

    Harassment/exploitation by live-in caretaker in rooming house
