From the dead of winter to the sweltering summer months, utility bills can be a highly unpleasant reality, particularly for already cost-burdened renters.
In a move applauded by tenant rights and sustainability advocates alike, the Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously in February to expand the Commercial Building Energy Benchmarking and Transparency ordinance to include multifamily residential buildings. This allows prospective renters to make better financially informed decisions before signing a lease.
