This bill establishes a new right for prospective tenants in Minnesota to view rental units before signing a lease. Under the proposed law, landlords are required to inform prospective tenants of their right to visit the dwelling they intend to rent. If a prospective tenant requests to see the unit, the landlord must allow an in-person visit. Additionally, if the tenant is unable to visit in person, the landlord must provide an option for a remote or electronic viewing of the dwelling.

The bill also includes provisions to protect this right, stating that any agreement waiving this right is considered void and contrary to public policy. In the event of a violation of this section by the landlord, the tenant is entitled to recover treble actual and consequential damages or a minimum of $1,000, along with reasonable attorney fees. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and fairness in the rental process for prospective tenants.
