Restrictions prohibition on a tenant's ability to participate in a class action

This bill prohibits landlords in Minnesota from including clauses in residential leases that prevent tenants from joining class action lawsuits. It makes such restrictions automatically invalid and unenforceable, regardless of whether they are written or oral agreements. If a landlord violates this rule, tenants can sue for three times their actual damages, at least $1,000, plus reasonable legal fees. The law applies to all residential leases and cannot be changed or waived by either the landlord or tenant.
