City protections
St. Paul
One of the only cities in the Midwest with voter-passed rent stabilization
01
3% rent cap
St. Paul's voter-approved rent stabilization ordinance caps annual increases at 3% for covered units, with exemptions (notably newer construction) added after the initial 2021 vote - check whether your building qualifies.
02
Landlord exceptions are formal
Increases above the cap require the landlord to apply for an exception through the city's process - a verbal 'costs went up' isn't one.

Underneath
Minnesota law still applies.
City rules sit on top of state law. Deposits, entry notice and the eviction process still come from Minnesota.
