Apportioned and submetered utility service bills made due no less than 31 days from the date of bill issuance by landlords requirement provision

This bill requires landlords in Minnesota to provide residential tenants with utility bills (for submetered or apportioned service) at least 31 days after issuance. It directly affects landlords who bill tenants for utilities like electricity, gas, or water, and tenants who receive these bills. Key provisions mandate that bills include specific details like meter readings, rates, tenant portions of taxes, and clear payment due dates. Landlords must also disclose billing frequency and tenant rights in leases or written notices. The law amends Minnesota Statutes 216B.023 and 504B.216 to enforce these transparency and timing requirements.
