Bill > HF1471

This bill requires home rule charter cities, statutory cities, and towns to provide landlords with a physical copy of the attorney general's landlord-tenant guide when issuing or renewing a rental license, registration, certificate of occupancy, or similar document that allows a residential dwelling unit to be occupied by a tenant. If the license or document is issued electronically, the city or town must instead provide a link to the guide on the attorney general's website. The bill defines key terms such as "residential tenant" and "landlord" by referencing existing definitions in Minnesota Statutes section 504B.001, ensuring clarity about who is covered by this requirement. The purpose of the bill appears to be improving transparency and ensuring that landlords have easy access to important information about their rights and responsibilities when renting out property.
