Good news, Minnesota renters! Over the next year, many new tenant protections that HOME Line advocated for at the Minnesota Legislature will become state law. This will be the most substantial change in Minnesota tenant/landlord law in a single session of the Legislature in the 165-year history of the state. Click here for a brief downloadable/printable summary about these new policies (note: this summary was updated 8/10/23 to reflect a MN Supreme Court order voiding one of the new laws). The majority of the policies will become effective on January 1, 2024.

HOME Line is hosting a series of free public education seminars and other efforts to get the word out about all of these new renters’ rights. Below is the schedule and registration for future webinar topics, and recordings of past sessions. All webinars include detailed presentations by HOME Line legal staff and guest speakers—and each session will be recorded and available on our website afterwards. We will be applying for CLE credits for each session. 

Webinars on New Tenant-Landlord Laws

Sign up for the monthly HOME Line Connection newsletter to receive reminders about each webinar and other related updates/information. We will also be adding more educational materials about the new laws to this page in the near future.

If you wish to read the legislation yourself, see the tenant/landlord policy language in Minnesota Session Laws 2023 Regular Session, Chapter 52, Article 19, Parts F through J (if you open that page and search for “Tenant’s Rights” it will locate the beginning of part F).
