Question one asked voters if they would like to limit rent increases to no more than 3% per year regardless of whether or not the tenant changes -- and voters agreed it was something they wanted to support.
The measure will also direct the city to enact a process for landlords who will now have to file an exception to the limit if necessary for a reasonable return on investment.
The rent control policy will now be one of the strictest in the nation as the Twin Cities continues to struggle with a nation-leading housing crisis.
