This bill introduces a new requirement for landlords in Minnesota to provide just cause for terminating a tenancy or refusing to renew a lease, as codified in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 504B. The bill specifies that landlords must establish one or more grounds for termination, which include nonpayment of rent, repeated late payments, material breaches of the lease, refusal to renew, and several other specific circumstances such as the landlord's need to occupy the unit or comply with government orders. Landlords are also required to give tenants sufficient written notice detailing the reason for termination, consistent with lease requirements.

Additionally, the bill outlines the procedures landlords must follow when withdrawing rental properties from the market, including filing a notice of intent, providing a 180-day notice to tenants, and offering a relocation fee. It also includes provisions for rehabilitation and renovation, compliance with government orders, and conditions related to employment. The bill emphasizes that these new requirements do not alter the ability of landlords and tenants to amend lease terms as permitted by law.
