New Statewide Tenant/Landlord Laws (2023-2024)

Good news, Minnesota renters! Many new tenant protections that HOME Line advocated for from 2023-2024 at the Minnesota Legislature became state law. This has been the most substantial change in Minnesota tenant/landlord law in a single session of the Legislature in the 165-year history of the state. 

If you are a Minnesota renter and have questions about your rights, please contact our hotline: 612-728-5767 or email-an-attorney here.
