The rules all sit in one statute. This guide walks through every part with the section numbers so you can check the law yourself.</p> <p><strong>TL;DR:</strong> Minnesota sets no cap on the deposit, but it earns 1 percent interest, and the landlord has just 21 days after you move out and give a forwarding address to return it or explain any deduction. Miss that, and you can recover the amount owed plus a penalty equal to it, plus up to $500 more for bad faith.</p>
