SF 3565 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Rental unit prospective tenant right to view establishment

This bill (SF 3565) requires landlords in Minnesota to give prospective tenants the right to view a rental unit before signing a lease. Landlords must notify tenants of this option and allow either in-person visits or remote electronic viewings upon request. The law voids any lease agreement that waives this right, and tenants can recover triple damages (or $1,000, whichever is greater) plus attorney fees for violations. It directly affects landlords and renters in Minnesota housing transactions.
