Minnesota lease renewal guide

Check renewal timing

Review the six-month rule

Under section 504B.144, a landlord may not require renewal sooner than six months before expiration when the current term exceeds ten months. Check the original expiration date before setting a response deadline. Official source

Compare the notice periods

Section 504B.147 applies when the lease sets unequal notice periods. The landlord's notice of nonrenewal or increase cannot be shorter than the contractual tenant notice period, and the tenant may choose the applicable lease period allowed by the statute. Official source

Keep the deposit records

Track interest and eventual return

Section 504B.178 generally provides one percent simple annual interest, excluding interest below one dollar. The ordinary return or written accounting deadline is three weeks after termination, subject to receipt of mailing or delivery instructions and the special condemnation rule. Keep inspection notices, condition records and deduction evidence. Official source

Prepare the signed agreement

Retain applicable riders and notices

Keep the original lease, signed extension and applicable local or assisted-housing documents. Use one signature row per tenant and distribute the complete packet.

Renew with clear terms

This agreement extends an existing lease and records the renewed rent. Lawful terms not expressly changed continue. It does not replace the original lease, create a new automatic-renewal clause, extend a guaranty, or require the tenant to leave when the new term ends.

State guidance is a starting point, not a determination of local coverage or a legal opinion. Rent-regulated and subsidized housing can require prescribed forms. Review the official sources shown for your state and get qualified advice for special cases.
