Homeowner renovation assistance nonrenewal prohibited relating to tenants in residential rental units.

HF 1854 prohibits landlords from refusing to renew leases for tenants in residential rental units when the landlord received government funds (federal, state, or local) to renovate the unit to accommodate the tenant's health, safety, or disability. The bill requires landlords to allow tenants to continue residing in the unit after such renovations, making any lease nonrenewal in violation void. Landlords who violate this section are liable for tenant costs, including attorney fees, incurred due to the violation. This law directly affects tenants in units with renovation funding and applies to Minnesota Statutes, chapter 504B.
