Criminal history background checks for nonresident tenant organizers authorization
Related bill: HF935
AI Generated Summary
This legislative bill allows landlords in Minnesota to perform criminal background checks on tenant organizers who do not live at the property they wish to organize. Landlords may require these non-resident tenant organizers to fill out a consent form for the background check and pay for the cost themselves. If a tenant organizer either refuses to consent to the check or has a violent crime conviction, the landlord can prevent them from entering the premises or from carrying out their organizing activities.
