Yes they are. The text contained below can be found at the following link: http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/stats/211B/20.html ------ 211B.20 Denial of access by political candidates to multiple unit dwellings. Subdivision 1. Prohibition. It is unlawful for a person, either directly or indirectly, to deny access to an apartment house, dormitory, nursing home, manufactured home park, other multiple unit facility used as a residence, or an area in which two or more single-family dwellings are located on private roadways to a candidate who has filed for election to public office or to campaign workers accompanied by the candidate, if the candidate and workers seeking admittance to the facility do so solely for the purpose of campaigning. A violation of this section is a petty misdemeanor. Subd. 2. Exceptions. Subdivision 1 does not prohibit: (1) denial of admittance into a particular apartment, room, manufactured home, or personal residential unit; (2) requiring reasonable and proper identification as a necessary prerequisite to admission to a multiple unit dwelling; (3) in the case of a nursing home, denial of permission to visit certain persons for valid health reasons; (4) limiting visits by candidates or workers accompanied by the candidate to a reasonable number of persons or reasonable hours; (5) requiring a prior appointment to gain access to the facility; or (6) denial of admittance to or expulsion from a multiple unit dwelling for good cause.
