Summary

In Minnesota, if a co-signer defaults on a lease, the remaining tenants are usually responsible for the full rent. If one tenant leaves, the remaining tenants are still liable for the entire rent. If all tenants vacate, the landlord can pursue legal action against all signees. Consulting a local attorney is advisable for specific guidance.
