Minnesota Fair Chance Access to Housing Act establishes fair housing practices and penalties for violations.

The Minnesota Fair Chance Access to Housing Act aims to ensure fair housing practices by prohibiting landlords from denying rental applications based solely on an applicant's criminal record. Landlords must not advertise or state that applications will be denied based on criminal history. Before accepting an application fee, landlords must disclose if their screening process includes a criminal background check. If a conditional offer is made, landlords can only consider specific criminal records that directly impact safety.
