Bill > HF2021

This bill amends Minnesota's human rights statutes to prohibit housing discrimination based on a tenant's source of income, specifically protecting individuals who use government rental assistance programs. Under the proposed law, landlords would be forbidden from discriminating against tenants or prospective tenants who receive federal, state, or local housing assistance, including housing choice vouchers. This means landlords cannot refuse to show a rental unit, deny a rental application, or otherwise treat tenants differently solely because they rely on public assistance to pay rent. The bill also explicitly prevents landlords from advertising that they will not rent to individuals using rental assistance programs. By adding these protections, the legislation aims to ensure that tenants using government housing support have equal access to rental housing and are not unfairly disadvantaged in the housing market.
