Minneapolis, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 12 § 250.110
Delivery of notice (Minneapolis Housing Code)
Operative Text
Unless otherwise provided herein, all notices required by this chapter shall be in writing and shall be either personally delivered or delivered by United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to the named tenant or "occupant" at the address of the unit. Delivery shall be complete upon mailing. (79-Or-209, § 1, 10-26-79)
Minneapolis, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 12 § 250.110 establishes how official notices under the chapter must be delivered. Any required notice must be in writing and sent either by hand delivery or by prepaid U.S. mail addressed to the tenant or 'occupant' at the rental unit's address. Once a notice is placed in the mail with proper postage, delivery is considered legally complete — the sender does not need to confirm the recipient actually received it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 250.110, property owners and managers should ensure that every written notice required by this chapter is either hand-delivered or sent via prepaid U.S. mail to the tenant or 'occupant' at the unit address. Keeping records of mailing — such as a certificate of mailing or dated copies of notices — is a practice commonly followed by compliant operators to document that the delivery requirement was met. Because delivery is deemed complete upon mailing, maintaining that documentation helps demonstrate compliance if a dispute arises.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 250.110 sets the baseline delivery rules for notices your landlord is required to send under this chapter, meaning a notice mailed with prepaid postage to your unit address is legally effective even if you did not personally receive it. If you believe a required notice was never properly sent — for example, if it was not in writing or was not addressed to your unit — that procedural defect may be relevant to any dispute about the notice's validity. Tenants who have questions about whether a notice was properly delivered can consult a tenant-rights organization or review resources available through the City of Minneapolis for guidance on their options.
