STR hosts must post and enforce quiet hours matching Chapter 389 (10 PM to 7 AM). Repeated verified noise complaints can suspend or revoke a Minneapolis STR license.
Minneapolis Chapter 281 requires every short-term rental to post house rules that include the citywide quiet hours of 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM weekdays and 10:00 PM to 9:00 AM weekends. The licensee must provide a local contact who answers within 60 minutes and can address a noise complaint in person. Verified police responses for noise, parties, or disturbances are tracked against the license. Three or more substantiated complaints in a 12-month window typically trigger an administrative review and can result in suspension or revocation. The social host ordinance makes the license holder liable for prohibited activity at the unit even when not present. Licensees commonly install noise-monitoring devices (Minut, NoiseAware) that trigger alerts without recording audio.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Minneapolis code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
