This bill amends provisions related to rent increases for manufactured home park lot rentals in Minnesota. It requires that park owners provide residents with a 60-day written notice before any rent increase, which must now include the owner's reason for the increase. Additionally, the bill limits the number of rent increases a park owner can impose to one per year, and any increase must be deemed reasonable, with the burden of proof resting on the park owner to demonstrate this reasonableness.
Furthermore, the bill modifies the existing notice requirements for prospective residents, ensuring they are informed of their rights regarding eviction and rent increases. It clarifies that residents cannot be evicted or have their rent increased for filing complaints against the park owner or government officials. The changes are set to take effect on August 1, 2025, and will apply to rent increases occurring on or after that date.
