## Resource

A new right-to-repair law just passed in Duluth, Minnesota and renters could now legally take action on repairs if landlords don’t act. In this video, we break down the actual law passed in Duluth, how it works, what it allows tenants to do, and what it means for landlords and property managers. We explain: • What the Duluth right-to-repair law actually permits • When a renter can demand repairs • How “repair-and-deduct” works under the new ordinance • Steps landlords should take to stay compliant and avoid deductions or disputes This is something every landlord in Duluth (and other Minnesota cities watching) needs to understand before it affects your bottom line.
