This bill amends provisions related to rent increases for manufactured home park lot rentals in Minnesota. It modifies the existing law to require that park owners provide residents with a written notice of any rent increase at least 60 days in advance, which must now include the reason for the increase. Additionally, the bill limits the number of rent increases a park owner can impose to one per year, ensuring that any increase must be reasonable and placing the burden of proof on the park owner to demonstrate its reasonableness.

Furthermore, the bill updates the notice requirements for prospective residents, emphasizing their rights and protections against eviction and unreasonable rent increases. It clarifies that residents cannot be evicted or have their rent increased for filing complaints and mandates that all park rules must be reasonable. The changes are set to take effect on August 1, 2025, applying to rent increases that occur on or after that date.
