Laws
In almost all cases, Minnesota landlords are required to return a security deposit within three weeks of the tenant moving out. If the tenant is forced to move due to the building being legally condemned for reasons other than the tenant’s willful, irresponsible, or malicious conduct, the landlord must refund the deposit within five days. If the tenant does not receive the security deposit within the designated timeframe, the landlord may be forced to pay additional damages of $500 and twice the amount of the deposit, including any accumulated interest.[1]
