The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 504B.321, subdivision 1a, to modify the notice requirements for eviction actions due to nonpayment of rent. It stipulates that landlords must provide written notice to tenants detailing the total amount due, a breakdown of the charges, and the contact information for the person authorized to receive payments. Additionally, the notice must include statements informing tenants of their rights to seek legal assistance and apply for financial help, as well as a warning that eviction proceedings may commence if the total amount due is not paid or if the tenant does not vacate the premises within 30 days of receiving the notice.

Furthermore, the bill changes the timeframe for tenants to address rent delinquency from 14 days to 30 days following the delivery or mailing of the notice. It also clarifies that if local government regulations provide for a longer notice period, those rules will take precedence. The new provisions will take effect for eviction actions initiated on or after July 1, 2026.
