MN SF771

Expands lease termination rights to include victims of domestic abuse, criminal sexual conduct, and stalking (beyond the previous domestic abuse-only provision).

Allows tenants to terminate leases without penalty by providing written notice accompanied by a qualifying document (court orders, law enforcement documentation, or statements from qualified third parties like domestic abuse advocates or health care professionals).

Sole tenants terminating under this section are responsible for rent through the month of termination only; multiple-tenant leases terminate at the end of the month or rent interval when one tenant invokes this right, and all tenants forfeit security deposit claims but are relieved of remaining lease obligations.

Prohibits landlords from disclosing tenant information related to violence victimization and restricts use of that information in shared databases, though it may be used as evidence in eviction or rent proceedings.

Adds covenant to residential leases prohibiting tenants from committing domestic abuse, criminal sexual conduct, or stalking against other tenants or authorized occupants; prohibits landlords from evicting tenants solely because they are victims of violence.
