A Minnesota landlord uses a tenant screening service that includes data from criminal background checks, credit bureaus, and eviction records. Under the Minnesota Tenant Screening Bill of Rights (effective 2022):

ALandlords can use any screening criteria without restriction
BLandlords must provide applicants with specific information about screening criteria before charging fees and use criminal records in limited ways✓ Correct
COnly government-approved screening services may be used
DEviction records cannot be considered for any reason

Explanation

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.
