What must a landlord clean prior to moving new renter in Minnesota?

I don't know about Minnesota specifically but there is a general principle that the property must be maintained in a "habitable" state.
In specifics, that means no pest infestations, no damage creating safety violations, things like that.
A landlord cannot require you to bring it to a better state than it was in when you moved in (the law in California at least).
So if the kitchen and windows were dirty when you moved in, you can leave them in a comparable state and they cannot charge you out of your security deposit.
For your protection, inform the landlord in writing and take pictures.

Regardless of the situation: renter, landlord, apartment building or condominium situation, the first priority is to address the clean-up.

Does a landlord have the right to clean your apt when you are away?
The answer this is absolutely positively no. A landlord has no right to enter into a rented unit unless their are exigent circumstances such as fire, flood, gas leaks, posted 24-48 hour notices, of signs of visible medical problems such as an unconscious person lying on the floor. Should a landlord enter a rented unit without the permission of the renter, he can be criminally and civilly punished. It's also grounds to terminate the lease agreement and demand a full security deposit back. However, it's not common for landlords to enter rented units with the sole intention of cleaning. Their goal is collect rent, not clean your apartment. If they did clean your apartment, you're right to feel violated but also think about the good that came out of having a clean apartment on someone Else's time and money.
