Prorating requirements for the final month of rent clarification

This bill (SF 2266) clarifies Minnesota's prorated rent rules for residential leases ending before the last day of a month. It requires landlords to calculate the final month's rent based on the actual number of days a tenant occupies the unit, using the average daily rate for that month. This applies to all leases, including those requiring the last month's rent to be paid upfront, and invalidates any contract attempts to waive this requirement. The law directly affects tenants and landlords by ensuring fair payment for partial occupancy in the final lease period.
