Property Management

A Minnesota landlord wants to prohibit tenants from keeping firearms in their rental units. Such a lease provision:

AIs fully enforceable under Minnesota landlord-tenant law
BIs void since Minnesota law prevents landlords from prohibiting legal firearms possession✓ Correct
CIs only enforceable in multi-family buildings with 5 or more units
DRequires approval from the local police department

Explanation

Under Minnesota Statute 471.633, state law preempts local regulations on firearms. While the interaction between landlord-tenant law and firearms preemption is complex, Minnesota law generally recognizes that landlords cannot contractually prohibit tenants from lawful firearms possession in their homes. Legal counsel should be consulted for specific situations.
