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 or, if necessary, provide a remote electronic viewing option.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any agreement waiving this right is considered void and contrary to public policy. In the event of a violation of this provision, 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 protect the rights of tenants in the rental process.
