Landlord- Tenant Handbook: Other Important Laws http: / /www. tenant. net /Other_Areas/Minnesota/hb4.html <br /> origin, sex, martial status, sexual or affectional orientation, disability, or reliance on public <br /> assistance. Minn. Stat. 4363.03, subd. (2)(a) (1992). (But there is an exception to this: an owner or <br /> occupier living in a one - family unit may refuse to rent part of the premises on the basis of sex, <br /> marital status, sexual or affectional orientation, disability, or reliance on public assistance). Minn. <br /> Stat. 4363.02, subd. (2)(b) (1992). <br /> Likewise, a landlord, for discriminatory reasons, cannot decrease services that have been promised <br /> in the lease. Minn. Stat. 4363.03, subd. (2)(b) (1992). It is also illegal for landlords to discriminate <br /> against people with children (this is also called "familial status "). But there are some important <br /> exceptions to this prohibition. <br /> Landlords can refuse to rent to persons with children when: <br /> 1. The vacancy is an owner- occupied house, duplex, triplex or four -plex. Minn. Stat. 4363.03, <br /> subd. 2 (1992). <br /> 2. The purpose of the building is to provide housing for elderly persons. <br /> To qualify for this second exemption the housing must: <br /> 1. Be provided under a state or federal program that is specifically designed and operated to <br /> assist elderly persons. <br /> 2. Be intended for and solely occupied by persons 62 years of age or older. <br /> 3. Be intended and operated for occupancy by at least one person 55 years of age or older per <br /> unit. When this latter circumstance is met, there must also be significant facilities or <br /> services designed to meet the physical or social needs of the elderly (or provide important <br /> housing opportunities for the elderly), at least 80 percent of the units must be occupied by <br /> one person 55 years of age or older per unit, and there must be the publication of, and <br /> adherence to, policies and procedures that demonstrate an intent to provide such housing. <br /> Minn. Stat. 4363.02, subd. (2)(2)(b) (1992). <br /> Complaints about discrimination should be filed with the Minnesota Department of Human <br /> Rights, 500 Bremer Building, 7th Place and Minnesota St., St. Paul, MN 55101; (612) 296 -5663, <br /> or toll free, 1- 800 - 657 -3704. In Minneapolis, St. Paul, and some other localities, such complaints <br /> may also be filed with municipal civil or human rights departments. Minn. Stat. §363 (1992). <br /> 27. HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE UNIT <br /> Minnesota law now requires that a disabled person, or a family with a disabled family member, <br /> must be given priority to handicapped- equipped rental housing. This law provides that if a <br /> non - disabled person, or a family that does not include a disabled person, is living in a <br /> handicapped - equipped unit, the owner must offer to rent a non - handicapped - equipped apartment <br /> to that person or family if: <br /> 1. A disabled person or a family with a disabled family member who will reside in the <br /> apartment has signed a rental agreement for the handicapped - equipped apartment. <br /> 2. A similar non - handicapped - equipped apartment in the same rental housing complex is <br /> available at the same rent. Minn. Stat. §363.033 (1992). <br /> The law requires that the owner must inform non - disabled people and families that do not include <br /> a disabled family member of the possibility of being offered a non - handicapped - equipped rental <br /> unit. This information must be provided before an agreement is made to rent an equipped unit. <br /> Minn. Stat. 4363.033 (1992). <br /> 28. LANDLORD DISCLOSURE <br /> Landlords must provide their tenants, in writing, with the name and address of: <br /> 7 of 9 10/31/99 7:37 PM <br />
