MN Stat § 502.88 (2021)
2021 Minnesota Statutes|Chapters 500 - 515B — Property And Property Interests|Chapter 502 — Powers Of Appointment|Section 502.88 — Rule Against Perpetuities And Accumulations As Affected By Powers Of Appointment.

502.88 RULE AGAINST PERPETUITIES AND ACCUMULATIONS AS AFFECTED BY POWERS OF APPOINTMENT. Subdivision 1. Scope. Notwithstanding any provision of this section to the contrary, nothing in this section shall be construed, applied, or interpreted to be inconsistent with chapter 501A. Subd. 2. Time at which permissible period begins. (a) If an estate is created by an instrument exercising a power of appointment, the permissible period of the rule against perpetuities begins: (1) In the case of an instrument exercising either: (i) a general power which is presently exercisable; or (ii) any other power, whether presently exercisable, testamentary, or postponed, but only if the exercise of the power makes express reference to this item, section 502.88, subdivision 2, paragraph (a), clause (1), item (ii), in the instrument of exercise, the period shall begin on the effective date of the instrument of exercise. (2) In all other cases, the period begins at the time of the creation of the power. (b) If the creator of a trust reserves an unqualified power to revoke, the permissible period of the rule against perpetuities begins when the power to revoke terminates by reason of the death of the creator, by a release of the power, or otherwise. Subd. 3. Law which determines permissible period. In all cases covered by subdivision 2, the permissible period of the rule against perpetuities is determined by the law in effect when the power is exercised or the unqualified power to revoke is terminated, and not by the law in effect when the power was created. Subd. 4. Facts to be considered. When the permissible period of the rule against perpetuities must be computed from the time of the creation of the power of appointment, facts and circumstances existing on the effective date of the instrument exercising the power must be taken into account in determining the validity of interests created by the instrument exercising the power. Subd. 5. Rule against accumulations; law determining validity in exercise of a power of appointment. When a direction for the accumulation of income is contained in an instrument exercising a power, whether the instrument is created before or after January 1, 2016, the validity of the direction is determined by the law in effect when the power is exercised or the unqualified power to revoke is terminated, and not by the law in effect when the power was created.

504B.111 WRITTEN LEASE REQUIRED; PENALTY. A landlord of a residential building with 12 or more residential units must have a written lease for each unit rented to a residential tenant. The written lease must identify the specific unit the residential tenant will occupy before the residential tenant signs the lease. Notwithstanding any other state law or city ordinance to the contrary, a landlord may ask for the tenant's full name and date of birth on the lease and application. A landlord who fails to provide a lease, as required under this section, is guilty of a petty misdemeanor. History:  1999 c 199 art 1 s 3; 1Sp2019 c 1 art 6 s 56

504B.115 TENANT TO BE GIVEN COPY OF LEASE. Subdivision 1. Copy of written lease to tenant. Where there is a written lease, a landlord must give a copy to a tenant occupying a dwelling unit whose signature appears on the lease agreement. The landlord may obtain a signed and dated receipt, either as a separate document or an acknowledgment included in the lease agreement itself, from the tenant acknowledging that the tenant has received a copy of the lease. This signed receipt or acknowledgment is prima facie evidence that the tenant has received a copy of the lease. Subd. 2. Legal action to enforce lease. In any legal action to enforce a written lease, except for nonpayment of rent, disturbing the peace, malicious destruction of property, or a violation of section 504B.171, it is a defense for the tenant to prove that the landlord failed to comply with subdivision 1. This defense may be overcome if the landlord proves that the tenant had actual knowledge of the term or terms of the lease upon which any legal action is based. History:   1999 c 199 art 1 s 4

504B.116 PRORATED RENT REQUIRED. (a) When a lease term for a residential unit ends on a date before the last day of the final month, the amount of rent to be paid for the final month owed for the final month of rent must be prorated at the average daily rate for that month so that the tenant only pays for the actual number of days that occupancy is allowed. This provision applies to all leases, including leases requiring the last month of rent to be paid in advance. Any attempted waiver of this section by a landlord and tenant, by contract or otherwise, shall be void and unenforceable. (b) For purposes of this section, prorated rent must be calculated using the actual number of calendar days for the calendar month in which the lease expires. History:   1Sp2021 c 8 art 2 s 11

504B.125 PERSON IN POSSESSION LIABLE FOR RENT; EVIDENCE. Every person in possession of land out of which any rent is due, whether it was originally demised in fee, or for any other estate of freehold or for any term of years, shall be liable for the amount or proportion of rent due from the land in possession, although it be only a part of the land originally demised. Such rent may be recovered in a civil action, and the deed, demise, or other instrument showing the provisions of the lease may be used in evidence by either party to prove the amount due from the defendant.

504B.145 RESTRICTION ON AUTOMATIC RENEWALS OF LEASES. Notwithstanding the provisions of any residential lease, in order to enforce any automatic renewal clause of a lease of an original term of two months or more which states, in effect, that the term shall be deemed renewed for a specified additional period of time of two months or more unless the tenant gives notice to the landlord of an intention to quit the premises at the expiration of the term due to expire, the landlord must give notice to the tenant as provided in this section. The notice must be in writing and direct the tenant's attention to the automatic renewal provision of the lease.

504B.146 LEASE DURATION NOTICE. A written lease for a residential unit must identify the lease start date and lease end date.

504B.147 TIME PERIOD FOR NOTICE TO QUIT OR RENT INCREASE. Subdivision 1. Application. 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. For purposes of this section, "notice to quit" includes a notice of nonrenewal of a lease. Subd. 2. Tenant option to choose notice period. The tenant may give notice of an intention to quit the premises using either: (1) the time period provided in the lease for the tenant to give a notice of intention to quit the premises; or (2) the time period provided in the lease for the landlord to give a notice to quit the premises or notice of a rent increase. Subd. 3. Landlord notice requirements. 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. Subd. 4. No waiver. The requirements of this section may not be waived or modified by the parties to a residential lease. Any provision, whether oral or written, of a lease or other agreement by which any provision of this section is waived by a tenant is contrary to public policy and void.

(a) In every lease or license of residential premises, the landlord or licensor covenants: (1) that the premises and all common areas are fit for the use intended by the parties; (2) to keep the premises in reasonable repair during the term of the lease or license, except when the disrepair has been caused by the willful, malicious, or irresponsible conduct of the tenant or licensee or a person under the direction or control of the tenant or licensee; (3) to make the premises reasonably energy efficient by installing weatherstripping, caulking, storm windows, and storm doors when any such measure will result in energy procurement cost savings, based on current and projected average residential energy costs in Minnesota, that will exceed the cost of implementing that measure, including interest, amortized over the ten-year period following the incurring of the cost; and (4) to maintain the premises in compliance with the applicable health and safety laws of the state, and of the local units of government where the premises are located during the term of the lease or license, except when violation of the health and safety laws has been caused by the willful, malicious, or irresponsible conduct of the tenant or licensee or a person under the direction or control of the tenant or licensee. (b) The parties to a lease or license of residential premises may not waive or modify the covenants imposed by this section. Subd. 2. Tenant maintenance. The landlord or licensor may agree with the tenant or licensee that the tenant or licensee is to perform specified repairs or maintenance, but only if the agreement is supported by adequate consideration and set forth in a conspicuous writing. No such agreement, however, may waive the provisions of subdivision 1 or relieve the landlord or licensor of the duty to maintain common areas of the premises. Subd. 3. Liberal construction. This section shall be liberally construed, and the opportunity to inspect the premises before concluding a lease or license shall not defeat the covenants established in this section. Subd. 4. Covenants are in addition. The covenants contained in this section are in addition to any covenants or conditions imposed by law or ordinance or by the terms of the lease or license. Subd. 5. Injury to third parties. Nothing in this section shall be construed to alter the liability of the landlord or licensor of residential premises for injury to third parties. Subd. 6. Application.
