SF 2097 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Source of income discrimination prohibition in housing

This bill prohibits landlords in Minnesota from discriminating against tenants who use government rental assistance, housing choice vouchers, or other public aid programs to pay rent. It specifically bans landlords from denying viewings, applications, or rental opportunities to such tenants, or advertising that they won't rent to people using these programs. The law directly affects tenants relying on federal, state, or local housing assistance and requires landlords to comply with these non-discrimination rules. It amends Minnesota Statutes 363A.09 to add explicit protections against source-of-income discrimination in housing.
