Minneapolis Lease Additions

[Matt Olson]

Closing on our first property (duplex) in Minneapolis uptown area.  I've been working on the lease drafts all week and wondering for those that have gone through this, if there are any nice to have additions or anything outside your "standard" lease language.  Some ideas I've thought of that I plan to add so far:

1.) COVID section mentioning that the tenants will allow for exhibiting units for future tenants where masks will be required for all parties including Lessor providing 24hr notice. (research tells me some tenants in current times have been very annoying about entering units given the covid environment)

2.) Lessee agrees to not flush any item down the toilet, sink, tub or shower that could cause it to become stopped-up.  If it should be necessary to have a plumber unstop any such appliance, Lessee shall be billed for the maintenance call.

Lawn/Snow I'm still debating on given its a duplex I'd have to pick a tenant to cover it at a rent discount if I wanted)

Any other similar nice to have adds that anyone has added? Anything specific to Minneapolis that I need to be aware of? (I live in Minneapolis so I'm pretty close to the knowledge there).
