A Minnesota rental agreement is a legally binding document that outlines the terms of a rental arrangement between a landlord and a tenant. It covers rent, fees, deposits, utilities, and responsibilities.

Rental Application – Before authorizing an agreement, a landlord often uses a rental agreement that checks the tenant’s credit report and income to ensure they are suitable renters.
