Minnesota SF1685 modifies landlord and tenant leasing requirements, including written lease provisions, tenant remedies, and landlord disclosure.

Minnesota SF1685 amends landlord and tenant laws by requiring landlords to provide written leases for residential units, especially for buildings with 12 or more units. It mandates that landlords disclose specific contact information to tenants and prohibits listing minor children in leases or eviction complaints unless the minor is the sole tenant. The bill also establishes a prospective tenant's right to view the rental unit in person or remotely before leasing. Landlords face penalties for non-compliance, and tenants can recover treble damages and attorney fees for violations.
