S.F. No. 1033 - Rent Control
Author: Senator John Marty
Prepared by: Daniel P. McGowan, Senate Counsel (651/296-4397)
Date: March 26, 2009


This bill amends the local government rent control provision in Chapter 471 and provides that a rent control provision does not impair the right of a city, county, or town, to manage or control property to which it is providing public assistance for a period of time consistent with the term of the public assistance. Public assistance is defined as direct subsidies, low-interest loans, tax credits, bonds, and infrastructure development. The rent control provision generally prohibits local units of government from adopting rent control provisions unless they are approved by the voters.
