(1) allege the existence of financial exploitation, or the imminent danger of financial exploitation, of the vulnerable adult;

(2) include the specific facts and circumstances for which relief is sought, including the relationship between the vulnerable adult and respondent;

(3) state whether the vulnerable adult has ever applied for or received an order for protection under this section or section 518B.01, or a restraining order under section 609.748; and

(4) state whether there are any pending actions between the vulnerable adult and the respondent.

(c) A person temporarily or permanently vacating a residence or household in an attempt to avoid financial exploitation does not affect the person's right to petition for an order under this section.
