Minnesota's Tenant Screening Bill of Rights (2022) requires landlords to: provide written screening criteria before accepting application fees, provide a copy of adverse reports used for denial, and follow specific rules about considering criminal history (limiting lookback periods and requiring individualized assessment). These protections ensure fair and transparent tenant screening in Minnesota.
