and storage of personal property left on the premises. The motion must be filed

the premises; and
(b) A copy of those charges has been requested by
or provided to the tenant,
Ê whichever is

affix the date of the hearing to the motion and order a copy served upon the
landlord by the sheriff, constable or other process server. At the hearing, the
court may:
(a) Determine the costs due, if any, claimed by
the landlord pursuant to 118C.230 and any accumulating daily costs; and
(b) Order the release of the tenant’s property
upon the payment of the costs determined to be due or if no charges are
determined to be due.
9. A landlord shall not refuse to accept
rent from a tenant that is submitted after the landlord or the landlord’s agent
has served or had served a notice pursuant to subsection 1 if the refusal is
based on the fact that the tenant has not paid collection fees, attorney’s fees
or other costs other than rent, a reasonable charge for late payments of rent
or dishonored checks.
