Minneapolis, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 12 § 244.2160
Annual report (Minneapolis Housing Code)
Operative Text
Beginning in 2020, the departments of community planning and economic development and regulatory services shall submit to the city council a joint report on the status of this article. ( Ord. No. 2018-063 , § 1, 11-2-18)
Minneapolis Code of Ordinances § 244.2160 establishes a recurring government accountability mechanism: starting in 2020, two city departments—community planning and economic development, and regulatory services—are jointly required to report to the city council on how the rent-stabilization article is functioning. This provision creates an ongoing record of the article's implementation that is available through the city council process. The requirement took effect under Ordinance No. 2018-063, adopted November 2, 2018.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 244.2160, the annual reporting obligation falls on city departments rather than on property owners or managers directly. However, the joint report submitted to the city council may draw on data related to rental properties and compliance activity, meaning that records landlords maintain could inform the city's findings. Operators who stay current with the broader rent-stabilization article are generally better positioned if their properties or practices are reflected in such reports.

Section 244.2160 creates a public accountability tool: the annual joint report to the city council documents the status of Minneapolis's rent-regulation article, giving tenants a periodic, publicly accessible snapshot of how the rules are being administered. Tenants interested in how the ordinance is being enforced can look to these reports as a resource, and may raise concerns about implementation through the city council process. Tenant-rights organizations in Minneapolis can also help residents understand what the reports contain and what avenues exist for further engagement.
