This bill mandates that landlords in Minnesota must accept an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) as an alternative to a Social Security number (SSN) on rental applications. Specifically, it requires landlords to include the option for prospective tenants to submit either an ITIN or an SSN when applying for a rental property.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that landlords cannot deny a rental application solely based on the provision of an ITIN. However, it clarifies that landlords retain the right to deny applications if the consumer credit report associated with the ITIN is deemed insufficient. This legislation aims to enhance housing accessibility for individuals who may not possess a Social Security number.
