Minnesota SF4105 allows tenants to repair violations in residential rental units and deduct costs from rent.

Minnesota SF4105 provides tenants the right to repair violations in residential rental units. Tenants must notify landlords of needed repairs and can deduct repair costs from future rent if the landlord fails to act. The bill also allows tenants to contract for repairs if the landlord does not provide a scheduled date or corrects the violation within 14 days. Tenants can receive reimbursement from landlords for repair costs if the lease terminates before deductions can be made. The bill prohibits landlords from taking adverse actions against tenants for exercising these rights.
