How much notice does a landlord have to give before raising the rent in Minnesota?
Short answer
Rent increase notice can be no shorter than the notice the lease requires from the tenant
If the lease sets a notice period for the tenant to give notice of moving out, any notice of a rent increase you give must be at least that long.
"This section applies to a residential lease that provides a time period for the landlord to give notice to quit the premises or notice of a rent increase that is different than the time period the tenant is required to give for notice of intention to quit the premises." revisor.mn.gov
"The landlord may not give a notice to quit the premises or notice of a rent increase that is shorter than the time period the lease provides for the tenant to give notice of an intention to quit the premises." revisor.mn.gov
Who it covers: Minnesota has no statewide minimum rent-increase notice beyond this and the lease terms; a periodic tenancy generally needs the change to follow proper notice under § 504B.135.
