Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a written lease agreement in Minnesota?
While oral agreements may be enforceable for short-term leases, Minnesota law strongly favors written lease agreements. A written lease protects both landlord and tenant by clearly documenting terms, responsibilities, and required disclosures under the Minnesota Statutes Chapter 504B. Minnesota requires landlords to include specific disclosures such as Lead paint disclosure (federal, pre-1978 housing) and Landlord's name, address, and agent contact information must be provided in writing (Minn. Stat. § 504B.181), which must be in writing.
What are Minnesota's security deposit rules?
In Minnesota, there is no statutory limit on security deposits. Landlords must return the deposit within 21 days after the tenancy ends. Interest on security deposits is required by state law. Deductions must be itemized in writing.

Does Minnesota have rent control?
Minnesota allows cities to enact rent stabilization. In 2021, voters in Minneapolis and St. Paul both approved rent control measures. St. Paul's rent stabilization caps annual increases at 3% regardless of inflation, while Minneapolis limits increases to reflect the regional CPI. The state requires landlords to disclose rent control status to prospective tenants. Outside of these two cities, no statewide rent control applies in Minnesota.
