Top Questions about Minnesota Leases
A lease agreement is a legally binding contract between a landlord and a tenant that outlines the terms and conditions for renting a property.
While oral lease agreements are legally valid in Minnesota for leases shorter than one year, it is highly recommended to have a written lease agreement to avoid misunderstandings and disputes.
A lease agreement in Minnesota should include the names of the landlord and tenant, property address, lease term, rent amount, rules and responsibilities, pet policies, security deposit details, maintenance and repairs, and any other agreed-upon terms and conditions.
Unless specified in the lease agreement, a landlord can only increase the rent upon renewal of the lease term. They must provide written notice to the tenant at least 30 days in advance for month-to-month leases and 45 days for leases longer than one year.
The notice requirements for ending a lease in Minnesota depend on the type of lease. For month-to-month leases, either party must provide written notice at least one full rental period in advance. For fixed-term leases, no notice is required as the lease automatically terminates at the end of the agreed-upon term.
