§ 504B.471 — Purpose to Provide Additional Remedies
Plain-Language Summary
The emergency tenant remedies and building violation repair laws give tenants extra tools to get problems fixed, but they do not change who is ultimately responsible for paying for repairs or building maintenance.
504B.471 PURPOSE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL REMEDIES.
The purpose of section 504B.381 and sections 504B.395 to 504B.471 is to provide additional remedies and nothing contained in those sections alters the ultimate financial liability of the landlord or residential tenant for repairs or maintenance of the building.

Practical Notes
These court remedies help get repairs done, but the landlord remains financially responsible for building upkeep as required by other laws and the lease.
