Minneapolis Housing Code Temporarily Extends Pre-Eviction Notice

Petition Overview

In Minneapolis, this rule gives renters extra days to prepare before any eviction process kicks in, turning what used to be a quick heads-up into a longer window that lets people line up help, fix payment hiccups, or hunt for new housing without the rug being pulled out so fast.

Proposal Intentions

✓

Gives renters more time to fix payment issues or find help before facing eviction.

✓

Reduces the risk of sudden homelessness by allowing families to plan ahead.

✓

Lets tenants seek legal advice or financial support during the longer notice period.

Highlighted Awareness

Landlords may lose income for longer periods while waiting to regain control of their properties

It could discourage property owners from renting out units due to added delays and risks

Tenants facing eviction might delay finding new housing knowing the process takes more time
