Under Minn. Stat. Sec. 504B.211 a landlord must give reasonable notice of not less than 24 hours before entering a tenant's unit and may enter only for a reasonable business purpose. Entry is generally limited to 8:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. The tenant's right to prior notice cannot be waived, and emergency entry is allowed without notice.
Minn. Stat. Sec. 504B.211, subd. 2 grants tenants a right to privacy. A landlord 'may enter the premises rented by a residential tenant only for a reasonable business purpose and after making a good faith effort to give the residential tenant reasonable notice under the circumstances of not less than 24 hours in advance.' Listed business purposes include showings, repairs, inspections, and investigating lease violations. Entry is generally between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. unless the tenant agrees otherwise. A landlord may enter without notice when reasonably suspecting immediate entry is necessary to prevent injury, check a tenant's safety, or comply with local ordinances on unlawful activity, but must then leave written notice of the entry. The right to notice cannot be waived as a lease condition.
A tenant may recover a rent reduction up to full rescission of the lease, return of the damage deposit less lawful deductions, a civil penalty of up to $500 per violation, and reasonable attorney fees (Sec. 504B.211, subd. 6).
