Minnesota HF3245 repeals the exception allowing statutory cities to control rents if approved by voters.

Minnesota HF3245 amends the state's statutes to prohibit statutory or home rule charter cities, counties, or towns from controlling rents on private residential property. The bill repeals the exception that allowed statutory cities to control rents if the ordinance, charter amendment, or law was approved in a general election. This change means that statutory cities can no longer enact rent control measures through voter approval. The bill maintains the rights of cities, counties, or towns to manage property, contract with property owners, act as required by law, or mediate rent negotiations.
