     504B.111 Written lease required; penalty. 


    A landlord of a residential building with 12 or more 
 residential units must have a written lease for each unit rented 
 to a residential tenant.  Notwithstanding any other state law or 
 city ordinance to the contrary, a landlord may ask for the 
 tenant's full name and date of birth on the lease and 
 application.  A landlord who fails to provide a lease, as 
 required under this section, is guilty of a petty misdemeanor.
