Minnesota Rules

What Minnesota Renters Need to Know

Minnesota Statute 363A.09 covers disability discrimination in housing, and a 2021 law (Minn. Stat. 504B.113) gave landlords a defined ability to request supporting documentation from a licensed professional for service and support animals. A letter that meets the statute's description covers everything a landlord may lawfully ask for.

  • Your evaluator holds a license valid in Minnesota, named on your letter
  • The letter states your disability-related need without disclosing your diagnosis
  • Every letter carries a verification ID your Minnesota landlord can check
  • Minnesota law (Minn. Stat. 504B.113) bars extra fees, charges, or deposits for an approved service or support animal

It depends on the state you move to. Some states, such as California, Louisiana, Montana and Wisconsin, set their own rules on who may sign or how long the provider must know you, so check that state's page before you move. See the full state map.
With typical Minnesota pet rent of $25 to $55 monthly and a $250 to $500 deposit, an approved accommodation saves roughly $1,335 over a two-year lease, against a $99 letter.
