Requirements of prorated rent modification to include an incomplete first month of rent
This bill requires landlords and tenants in Minnesota to calculate rent for partial months based on the actual number of days a unit is occupied. It specifically mandates that when a lease starts or ends before the month concludes, rent must be prorated using an average daily rate rather than requiring a full month's payment. The law makes these requirements mandatory and unwaivable, meaning any lease clause attempting to bypass this calculation or limit tenant legal remedies is automatically invalid. This change applies to all residential leases entered into on or after the day following the bill's final enactment.
