“Parties generally may not litigate related claims in an eviction proceeding.” Hanson, 841 N.W.2d at 164. A party “may ... request a stay if another action related to the property is pending, but pending litigation alone does not mandate a stay.” Id. An underlying contract dispute is not a reason to stay an eviction proceeding. Real Estate Equity Strategies, LLC v. Jones, 720 N.W.2d 352, 358-59 (Minn. App. 2006).
