Minnesota Residential Lease Agreement

Minnesota lease agreement is the legal mechanism by which landlord-tenant relationships are defined when renting property.

These include:

  • Lease start and end dates
  • Names and applicable addresses of all parties
  • Rent payment, due dates, and any associated grace period or late fees
  • The pet policy
  • Security deposit amount
