Minn. Stat. § 504B § 504B.471
PURPOSE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL REMEDIES.
Operative Text
The purpose of section 504B.381 and sections 504B.395 to 504B.471 is to provide additional remedies and nothing contained in those sections alters the ultimate financial liability of the landlord or residential tenant for repairs or maintenance of the building.
Minn. Stat. § 504B.471 clarifies that the remedies created by sections 504B.381 and 504B.395 through 504B.471 are supplemental to existing law. These provisions do not shift or reassign the underlying financial responsibility that landlords or tenants already bear for building repairs and maintenance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Minn. Stat. § 504B.471, the remedies available in this statutory range are additive, meaning a landlord's existing financial obligations for repairs and maintenance remain intact regardless of any additional enforcement mechanisms these sections create. Operators who stay current on maintenance duties generally reduce exposure under both the traditional and supplemental remedy frameworks.

Minn. Stat. § 504B.471 confirms that the remedies in sections 504B.381 and 504B.395 through 504B.471 are in addition to, not a replacement for, other legal rights. Tenants who believe a landlord has failed to meet maintenance obligations may explore these supplemental remedies alongside other options, such as contacting a local tenant-rights organization or raising a violation through available legal channels.
