1998 Minnesota Statutes

     504A.181 Pets in subsidized handicapped accessible 
  rental housing units. 

    In a multiunit residential building, a residential tenant 
 of a handicapped accessible unit, in which the tenant or the 
 unit receives a subsidy that directly reduces or eliminates the 
 tenant's rent responsibility must be allowed to have two birds 
 or one spayed or neutered dog or one spayed or neutered cat.  A 
 tenant under this section may not keep or have visits from an 
 animal that constitutes a threat to the health or safety of 
 other individuals, or causes a noise nuisance or noise 
 disturbance to other tenants.  The landlord may require the 
 tenant to pay an additional damage deposit in an amount 
 reasonable to cover damage likely to be caused by the animal.  
 The deposit is refundable at any time the tenant leaves the unit 
 or to the extent it exceeds the amount of damage actually caused 
 by the animal.
