Minneapolis, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 12 § 250.120
Truth-in-housing disclosure report required (Minneapolis Housing Code)
Operative Text
The truth-in-housing disclosure report provisions of Chapter 248 of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances shall apply to sales by declarants of individual residential units in conversion condominiums. The disclosure report shall identify all required repair/replace items pursuant to section 248.70 . The disclosure report must also include information concerning any damage to the dwelling due to flooding, any evidence of chronic water seepage, and information on the age and current condition of the roof as required by section 248.30 . A professional opinion on the present condition of all heating, water, gas, electrical, plumbing, structural, and roof systems located or servicing common areas of the conversion condominium must also be provided in accordance with section 248.70 . The truth-in-housing disclosure report and professional opinion required by this section shall be delivered to prospective purchasers, including tenants, at the time when the declarant must deliver to the purchaser the disclosure items required by the Minnesota Common Interest Ownership Act, Article 4 , or when the condominium conversion notice must be provided to tenants, whichever is sooner. (79-Or-209, § 1, 10-26-79; Pet. No. 252271, § 50, 5-11-90; 2005-Or-144, § 1, 12-23-05)
Minneapolis Code § 12 § 250.120 requires that when a property owner converts a residential building into condominiums and sells individual units, a truth-in-housing disclosure report must be prepared and delivered to prospective buyers, including existing tenants. This report must cover required repair or replacement items, any history of flooding or chronic water seepage, the age and condition of the roof, and a professional opinion on the condition of shared building systems such as heating, plumbing, electrical, and structural components. The report must be delivered no later than the earlier of two trigger points: when Minnesota Common Interest Ownership Act Article 4 disclosure items are due, or when the condominium conversion notice is provided to tenants.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators conducting a condominium conversion under Minneapolis Code § 12 § 250.120 generally ensure that a compliant truth-in-housing disclosure report is prepared well in advance of any required delivery deadline. A compliant report typically documents all repair/replace items per section 248.70, flooding and water seepage history, roof age and condition per section 248.30, and includes a professional opinion covering shared building systems in common areas. Delivery to all prospective purchasers and current tenants must occur at whichever trigger point arrives first — the Minnesota Common Interest Ownership Act Article 4 disclosure deadline or the condominium conversion notice to tenants.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants living in a building undergoing a condominium conversion have a right under Minneapolis Code § 12 § 250.120 to receive a truth-in-housing disclosure report that includes information about the building's condition, flooding history, roof status, and the state of shared systems like heating and plumbing. This report must be delivered no later than when the conversion notice is provided to tenants, ensuring residents have material condition information before facing a purchase decision or relocation. Tenants who believe this disclosure was not properly provided may consider contacting the Minneapolis Department of Regulatory Services, consulting a tenant-rights organization, or raising the omission as part of any formal response to the conversion process.
