Operative Text
Subdivision 1.Notice of rent increases required. No increase in the amount of the periodic rental payment due from a resident shall be valid unless the park owner gives the resident 60 days' written notice of the increase. Subd. 2.Prohibition. No rent increase shall be valid if its purpose is to pay, in whole or in part, any civil or criminal penalty imposed on the park owner by a court or a government agency. Subd. 3.Rent increases limited. A park owner may impose only two rent increases on a resident in any 12-month period.
Under Minn. Stat. § 327C.06, manufactured home park owners in Minnesota must provide residents with at least 60 days' written notice before any rent increase takes effect. Rent increases are void if their purpose is to pass along civil or criminal penalties imposed on the park owner by a court or government agency. Additionally, a park owner may impose no more than two rent increases on any single resident within a 12-month period.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Minn. Stat. § 327C.06 sets clear procedural and substantive requirements for rent increases in manufactured home parks. Compliant park operators deliver written notice of any rent increase at least 60 days before it takes effect, track the number of increases applied to each resident to ensure no more than two occur within any rolling 12-month window, and never structure an increase to recoup costs from a court-imposed or agency-imposed penalty. Maintaining dated records of all notices and increases helps demonstrate compliance if a resident raises a challenge.

Minn. Stat. § 327C.06 gives manufactured home park residents specific protections against rent increases: any increase without 60 days' written notice is not valid, increases designed to cover the park owner's civil or criminal penalties are prohibited, and no more than two increases may be imposed in a 12-month period. If a resident believes an increase violates any of these rules, options generally include raising the violation as a defense in any eviction or collection proceeding, filing a complaint with a relevant government agency, or reaching out to a tenant-rights or legal aid organization for general information about available remedies.
