For Property Managers

St. Paul, Minn., Legis. Code § 193A.04 caps annual rent increases at 3% of the current monthly rent, so compliant operators typically track each tenancy's anniversary date and limit increases accordingly. Landlords seeking to exceed that cap must pursue the exception process under § 193A.06 or § 193A.08 and, for § 193A.06 exceptions, must wait for a final determination before the higher increase takes effect.

For Tenants

St. Paul, Minn., Legis. Code § 193A.04 gives tenants a right to challenge rent increases that exceed 3% within a 12-month period unless an exception under § 193A.06 or § 193A.08 has been properly authorized. Tenants who believe a rent increase violates this provision may consider filing a complaint with the relevant local rent authority or consulting a tenant-rights organization to understand available enforcement paths.
