Minneapolis, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 12 § 250.20
Application of chapter to conversion of condominiums (Minneapolis Housing Code)
Operative Text
The chapter shall apply only to conversion condominiums for which the declaration creating a condominium under Minnesota Statutes has been recorded on or after November 3, 1979. (79-Or-209, § 1, 10-26-79)
Minneapolis Code of Ordinances § 12 § 250.20 establishes a temporal boundary for the chapter's reach: its rules governing condominium conversions apply only to projects whose founding declaration was officially recorded on or after November 3, 1979, under Minnesota Statutes. Conversions whose declarations were recorded before that date fall outside the chapter's scope entirely. This cutoff date determines whether a given conversion condominium is subject to the protections and requirements set out elsewhere in the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Minneapolis Code § 12 § 250.20, property owners and managers converting rental units to condominiums should verify the recording date of the declaration filed under Minnesota Statutes. If that declaration was recorded on or after November 3, 1979, the full requirements of the chapter apply to the conversion project. Operators whose declarations predate that threshold generally fall outside the chapter's obligations, though other state or local rules may still be relevant.

Minneapolis Code § 12 § 250.20 means that tenants living in a building being converted to condominiums may have rights under this chapter if the conversion declaration was recorded on or after November 3, 1979. Tenants can check public property records or contact the city to confirm the recording date of the declaration for their building. Those who believe the chapter applies to their situation may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource for guidance on the protections available under the broader chapter.
