MN HF1918

Allows tenants or their authorized representatives to terminate leases early if a medical professional determines they need to move to a medical care facility and meet specific care criteria.

Defines qualifying conditions as: requiring assistance with daily living activities due to medical reasons or disability, meeting nursing facility level of care criteria, or having functional impairments in three or more areas due to mental illness.

Requires at least two months' written notice effective on the last day of a calendar month, along with medical documentation and proof of acceptance or pending application at the destination facility.

Prohibits lease provisions requiring longer notice periods and voids any waivers of these termination rights, though tenants remain liable for rent and restoration costs during the notice period.

Effective January 1, 2021, and applies to leases entered into or renewed on or after that date.
