This bill (S.F. No. 1698) seeks to amend Minnesota Statutes section 462.357 by adding a new subdivision that would prevent municipalities from prohibiting homeowners from renting or leasing part of their homestead property under certain conditions. Specifically:

• The property must be classified as a homestead, meaning it is the primary residence of the owner.
  
• It must be a single-family home, and the owner must reside on the property.
  
• Renting a portion of the homestead would be considered a permitted single-family use for zoning purposes.
  
• However, the bill does not prevent municipalities from enforcing other landlord-tenant laws, rental property regulations, and other applicable ordinances.
  

In essence, the proposed law aims to allow homeowners to rent out part of their primary residence while still complying with existing rental property regulations.
