Minnesota's landlord-tenant law is governed by Minnesota Statutes §504B.001 through §504B.471. The state has strong tenant protections and detailed rules on security deposits, eviction procedures, and landlord obligations. St. Paul enacted a rent stabilization ordinance in 2021, adding another layer of requirements for landlords in that city.
Minnesota does not impose a statutory cap on security deposits, but landlords must return deposits within 21 days of lease termination. If the landlord retains any portion, an itemized list of deductions must be provided. The state requires landlords to disclose known lead paint hazards, provide a written receipt for the deposit, and maintain properties in compliance with housing codes. Minnesota also has tenant protections against retaliation and discrimination.
SignAI generates your Minnesota lease with the right provisions — including §504B.178 security deposit return rules, required disclosures, proper notice periods, habitability standards, St. Paul rent stabilization compliance where applicable, and Minnesota-specific governing law clauses.
