Before accepting applications for rental housing, a landlord must provide written rental screening criteria to all applicants. (b) Uniform screening criteria. A landlord must apply uniform screening criteria and cannot disqualify an applicant for any of the following reasons: (1) Criminal history. a. Any arrest or charge that did not result in conviction of a crime; b.

Any conviction or any other determination or adjudication in the juvenile justice system, except under procedures pursuant to Minn. Stat. 260B.130. f. A petty misdemeanor offense is not a criminal offense. For the purposes of this Chapter, a petty misdemeanor cannot be grounds for a denial; g. Any misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor or felony conviction stemming from the following traffic offenses: reckless driving, driving without a license, driving with a suspended or revoked license, and DUI that did not result in additional charges for injury to a person; h. Any conviction for misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor offenses for which the dates of sentencing are older than three (3) years; i. Except as indicated in paragraph (j) below, any criminal conviction for felony offenses for which the dates of sentencing are older than seven (7) years; however, a landlord may deny an applicant who has been convicted of the illegal manufacture or distribution of a controlled substance as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802), or for those same offenses that mandate denial of tenancy in federally assisted housing subject to federal regulations, including but not limited to when any member of the household is subject to a lifetime sex offender registration requirement under a state sex offender registration program. j. Any criminal conviction for the following felony offenses for which the dates of sentencing are older than ten (10) years: first-degree assault (Minnesota Statutes section 609.221), first-degree arson (Minnesota Statutes section 609.561), aggravated robbery (Minnesota Statutes section 609.245), first-degree murder (Minnesota Statutes section 609.185), second-degree murder (Minnesota Statutes section 609.19), third-degree murder (Minnesota Statutes 609.195), first-degree manslaughter (Minnesota Statutes 609.20), kidnapping (Minnesota Statutes section 609.25), or first-degree criminal sexual conduct (Minnesota Statutes section 609.342). (2) Credit history. a. Credit score by itself; however, a landlord may use credit report information to the extent the report demonstrates a failure to pay rent or utility bills; or b. Insufficient credit history, unless the applicant in bad faith withholds credit history information that might otherwise form a basis for denial. (3) Rental history. a. An eviction action pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 504 or other equivalents in other states, if the action occurred three (3) or more years before the applicant submits the application or if the action occurred during the three years immediately preceding submission of the application but did not result in a judgment entered against the applicant. b. Insufficient rental history, unless the applicant in bad faith withholds rental history information that might otherwise form a basis for denial. c. If a landlord uses a minimum income test requiring an income equal to two and half (2.5) times the rent or higher, the landlord must allow an exception to that test where the applicant can demonstrate a history of successful rent payment with the same or lower ratio of income to rent. d. Exception. Whenever local, state, or federal funding or loan requirements for tenant screening conflict with any portion of section Sec. 193.04, the funding or loan requirements will take precedence over only those portions in conflict.
