I think the inspection service is using Gestapo methods and treating us as if we are criminals. We pay their salaries and they are our employees. I also need a lawyer because I got a surprise eviction notice for a unit that apparently is not zoned properly. I got the notice, with no prior information, on Friday May 28 after all the offices were closed. Yet, someone was working because they put the eviction notice up on the door of my legally approved second floor unit today, Sunday, Memorial Day weekend! I am always willing to cooperate and improve my buildings, but this type of treatment is rude, disrespectful and dictatorial. I need to fight it and looking for others who may have dealt with this problem as well. Thanks, Olga 6120-308-7101 I am interested in joining a landlord advocacy group.

In the blog it infers this fee is new, how new is this? Also...do your property taxes change when you convert your place from Homestead to Rental property? I'm trying to anticipate all the increased cost due to renting my property... I’m in the process of getting ready to rent my place and found out about the fee on mpls site.

Literally MOVED OUT OF STATE to live with family so I could rent my house so I could still pay my mortgage. My rent doesn't cover my mortgage but I've been lucky enough not to have to foreclose right now. I'm still out of state and would like to move back when the economy improves. I received a fine for $500 and told I had to pay a $1000 coversion fee, please know this comes after I had a Truth in Housing inspection to try to sell my house and passed that with flying colors but sadly the market had changed so much the house wouldn't sell. I appealed the fine of $500, they sent a court date notice (after having given them my NEW address to send the appeal info to, which they successfully did) to my old address. My renters forwarded the mail, but didn't get it until the day before the court date!!!! I called and left messages with everyone because I couldn't get up to MN in a matter of 12 hours. They held the hearing anyway and they ruled against me of course, because I wasn't there. I am outraged. SOOOO many people I know can't sell their homes and in an attempt to be responsible the city is exploiting a change in circumstance and taking advantage of VERY VERY financial fragile people. It's very sad, after 20 years in Minneapolis, 20 years of paying property taxes, it's just a huge slap in the face. It makes me disgusted. I don't know what to do. I am in the same boat.
