HF 3639 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Landlords prohibited from listing the name of a minor child of a tenant in a lease or eviction complaint.

This bill prohibits landlords from including minor children's names in rental agreements or eviction lawsuits. It directly affects families renting housing, ensuring children's personal information isn't listed as tenants or defendants. Landlords cannot list minor children as lease parties or eviction defendants unless the minor is the sole renter. Violations allow tenants to recover treble damages (up to three times actual costs) or $1,000, plus legal fees. The law takes effect August 1, 2026, for new or renewed leases.
