Text Messages Binding Rent

Summary

In Minnesota, text messages can be legally binding for rent agreements if they meet contract requirements: offer, acceptance, mutual intent, and consideration. If a homeowner requests a house payment and the other party responds ambiguously, it may not constitute a binding agreement unless further confirmation or partial payment indicates acceptance.
