Your rights

Minneapolis prohibits source-of-income discrimination under a 2017 city ordinance, upheld by the Minnesota Supreme Court in 2020 — a landlord generally cannot refuse you, or advertise "no Section 8," because you would pay with a voucher. The ordinance has an undue-hardship exception, and Minnesota has no statewide protection.

Neighborhood

The Whittier and Lyndale area of south Minneapolis is served by Metro Transit buses along Nicollet Avenue and Lyndale Avenue, with connections to downtown Minneapolis.
