Minn. Stat. § 363A § 363A.22
EXEMPTION BASED ON FAMILIAL STATUS IN HOUSING.
Operative Text
The provisions of section 363A.09 prohibiting discrimination because of familial status do not apply to eviction from, or denial of continuing tenancy in, dwelling units exempt under sections 363A.20 to 363A.26, and 363A.38, provided that: (1) one year has elapsed from the commencement of the familial status; and (2) six months prior written notice has been given to the tenant, unless the eviction or denial of continuing tenancy is for nonpayment of rent, damage to the premises, disturbance of other tenants, or other breach of the lease.
Under Minn. Stat. § 363A.22, certain housing that is otherwise exempt from Minnesota's familial-status discrimination rules may lawfully evict or deny continued tenancy to a household based on familial status, but only after two conditions are met: at least one year must have passed since the familial status began, and the landlord must have provided six months of prior written notice. These procedural protections do not apply when the eviction is based on nonpayment of rent, property damage, disturbance of other tenants, or another lease breach.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of housing that qualifies for an exemption under Minn. Stat. § 363A.22 generally confirm that a full year has elapsed since the tenant's familial status commenced before initiating any familial-status-based eviction or non-renewal. Compliant operators also document that written notice was delivered at least six months in advance, and they maintain records distinguishing familial-status-based actions from standard lease-breach proceedings, which carry their own separate requirements.

If you live in an exempt property and receive a notice tied to your familial status, Minn. Stat. § 363A.22 sets out specific timing requirements—one year elapsed and six months' written notice—that must be satisfied before such an action is lawful. Tenants who believe these conditions were not met may raise the procedural requirements as a defense in eviction proceedings or seek guidance from a local tenant-rights organization or the Minnesota Department of Human Rights.
