HF 1629 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Right to house youth for residential tenants created.

This bill gives renters in Minnesota the right to temporarily host a youth under age 25 in their rental unit for up to 60 days without landlord retaliation. Renters must notify landlords within 7 days of the youth's arrival, providing basic details like the youth's name and age (or full name and birthdate if 18+), but landlords cannot raise rent, evict, or require the youth to sign a lease during this period. The tenant remains responsible for rent, damages, and other lease obligations. Landlords who violate this law face dismissed eviction cases, liability for damages, and payment of tenant's legal costs.
