Research summary (101 words)

Minneapolis bars a landlord from using an algorithmic device, defined as software that draws on nonpublic competitor rent or occupancy data, to set rents or occupancy levels for a dwelling unit. The City Council added Section 244.2070 to the Code of Ordinances in early 2025, and it took effect on 1 March 2026.

Unlike the parallel California ordinances, the Minneapolis provision reaches only a landlord's own use of the technique inside the city; it names no duty on a vendor's sale, licensing, or provision of the software, so this instrument is coded as a use-side restriction rather than a supply-side ban.
