Requirements for prorated rent to include an incomplete first month of rent modified.

This bill modifies Minnesota's rent proration rules to require landlords to charge tenants only for the actual number of days they occupy a rental unit during the first or last month of a lease. It applies to all residential leases, including those that require advance payment of the first or last month's rent, and makes these proration requirements mandatory and unwaivable. The law also prohibits lease clauses that limit tenants' legal remedies for violations of this section, such as mandatory arbitration or class action waivers. These changes take effect immediately upon enactment and apply to new leases signed on or after that date.
