Who handles the paperwork in Cloquet
Cloquet is in Carlton County, not St. Louis County. The county seat is the town of Carlton, and the courthouse, the court administration, and the Recorder are there, not in Cloquet. Deeds for a Cloquet rental are recorded through those county offices.
What is different for a landlord here
Minnesota's landlord rules apply here the same way they do in Duluth, including the deposit deadline after a sale: 60 days or when the buyer must account to the tenant, whichever comes first. The Duluth license does not. We did not verify what Cloquet asks of a rental owner, so check with city hall.
The buildings and the tenants
Cloquet was rebuilt after a large fire in 1918, and a lot of the older housing dates from those years and after. A rental from that era may still have its original wiring, pipes, or foundation. We do not ask you to fix any of it. You tell us what you know, we look at the building, and the number counts the work. Out toward Esko and Scanlon, a private well and septic are common, and a buyer will ask about them.
What we would ask you
Send us the address, who lives there and on what lease, how old the mechanicals are, and anything you have been putting off. A rough idea is fine for a first talk. We are based in Duluth, MN, and have no office in Cloquet, so we start by phone. We are the buyer you deal with, we own rental property around here ourselves, and the person who calls you back decides the number. It comes in writing with the math explained, and you choose the closing date.
