Just cause eviction rules in Bloomington, MN — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Minneapolis adopted a non-renewal just-cause ordinance in 2022 requiring landlords to state one of nine approved reasons before refusing to renew a lease. Hennepin County itself has no just-cause rule; Bloomington, Edina, and other suburban cities follow Minnesota state law allowing non-renewal without cause.
Minneapolis Code 244.2030 requires landlords give written cause for any lease non-renewal, listing reasons such as nonpayment, lease violations, owner move-in, substantial rehab, condo conversion, or sale to owner-occupant. Tenants may challenge non-renewals at the Minneapolis Department of Regulatory Services. Most other Hennepin County cities including Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, Maple Grove, and Eden Prairie default to Minn. Stat. ch. 504B, which allows landlords to non-renew at lease end without stating cause, provided proper notice is given.
Minneapolis violations trigger civil penalties up to $2,000 per occurrence plus tenant damages. State-law-only cities have no penalty for non-renewal absent retaliation or discrimination claims.
