Victim information disclosure prohibition clarified.

HF 2296 clarifies that Minnesota landlords cannot disclose a tenant's status as a victim of violence, relocation address, or other sensitive information provided in tenant notices or qualifying documents. Landlords must keep this information private and cannot share it through shared databases or with third parties, except in limited legal situations like court proceedings with the tenant's consent. Violating this rule subjects landlords to $2,000 in statutory damages plus legal fees for the tenant. The law directly protects tenants who are victims of violence from potential harm or discrimination due to unauthorized disclosure. It becomes effective immediately upon enactment.
