MN SF1671

Landlords must establish one of nine specified "just cause" grounds before terminating a tenancy or refusing to renew a lease, with written notice of at least one full rental period required

Permitted grounds for termination include: nonpayment of rent, repeated late payments (5+ times in 12 months), material lease breach, tenant refusal to renew, landlord/family member occupancy, property withdrawal from market, rehabilitation/renovation, government order to vacate, or termination of on-site employment

Landlords withdrawing property from the rental market must file notice with Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, provide tenants 180-day advance notice, and pay one month's rent as a relocation fee 30 days before withdrawal

If a landlord re-offers withdrawn units for rent within 5 years, displaced tenants, the attorney general, or the commissioner may sue for damages and attorney fees

Creates new section 504B.277 in Minnesota Statutes governing residential tenancy terminations
