Minneapolis file 2026-00272, before the Minneapolis City Council. Still to be decided as of 2026-04-09.
Latest action: Referred to staff by City Council
Business owners get advance notice of eviction Before a landlord can file to evict a commercial tenant for unpaid rent or other money owed, the landlord must give written notice first and allow time to respond.
May slow down eviction timelines for landlords Landlords will need to send a notice letter before starting eviction court, which adds steps and delays to the process of removing a tenant.
Does not stop eviction if tenant ignores notice A tenant who receives notice and does not pay or respond can still be evicted through court; the notice requirement only delays when eviction papers can be filed.
Passage of Ordinanceamending Title 13, Chapter 259 of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances relating to Licenses and Business Regulations: In General, requiring commercial tenant notification prior to initiation of eviction actions for nonpayment of rent or other financial obligations.
