504B.204 ACTION FOR RENTAL OF CONDEMNED RESIDENTIAL PREMISES.
(a) A landlord, agent, or person acting under the landlord's direction or control may not
accept rent or a security deposit for residential rental property from a tenant after the leased
premises have been condemned or declared unfit for human habitation by the applicable state or
local authority, if the tenancy commenced after the premises were condemned or declared unfit
for human habitation. If a landlord, agent, or a person acting under the landlord's direction or
control violates this section, the landlord is liable to the tenant for actual damages and an amount
equal to three times the amount of all money collected from the tenant after date of condemnation
or declaration, plus costs and attorney fees.
(b) The remedies provided in this section are in addition to and shall not limit other rights
or remedies available to landlords and tenants. Any provision, whether oral or written, of any
lease or other agreement, whereby any provision of this section is waived by a tenant, is contrary
to public policy and void.
