Bill > HF3640

This bill establishes a new right for prospective tenants in Minnesota, requiring landlords to notify them of their option to view a rental unit before signing a lease. If a prospective tenant requests it, the landlord must allow them to visit the dwelling in person, or if an in-person visit isn't possible, to view it remotely and electronically. Any attempt to waive this right in a lease agreement is declared void as it goes against public policy, and landlords who violate this section could face penalties including treble actual and consequential damages or $1,000, whichever is greater, plus attorney fees. This aims to provide greater transparency and assurance for individuals seeking to rent a home.
