Does Minnesota require interest on security deposits?

Review the 1% interest owed on each security deposit. Minnesota security deposits earn 1 percent simple, noncompounded interest from the first day of the month after the deposit is paid in full, and that interest must go back to the tenant with the deposit, or be accounted for on the written statement of deductions, within three weeks after the tenancy ends, so a yearly review of each deposit keeps the move-out refund accurate.
