If you are starting eviction due to breaches and the non-payment then go through the eviction and sue them for the loss of rent and damages.

It might be easy for the owner to have a change of heart, go to court, pay damages, resell and pocket the difference. 

Then the refund of all fees paid and three times damages (not sure if MN has that or not) and a federal fair housing complaint. 

I would see if he could possibly meet somewhere in the middle to minimize the damage.

Enough to handle 2-3 attackers at close range under 30 feet and is not heavy enough to impact how you dress or move.

During the renovation, my GC pointed out a few spots where there were termites swarming/old termite damage.
