MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – New renter rights are going into effect Saturday in Minneapolis, in an effort to provide more protections for renters.
Minneapolis renters’ rights
What they’re saying:
The City of Minneapolis has two new renter rights ordinances going to in effect Saturday, March 1.
The first new ordinance is an extended pre-eviction filing notice. Property owners are now required to give renters 30 days’ notice of eviction, instead of the original 14 days.
The city says a pre-eviction notice must include what fees are due, a timeline for paying fees, and who you can pay. The 30 days start the day the property owner either mails or hand-delivers the notice to the renter.
After those 30 days, property owners can start the eviction process if a renter hasn’t paid the total amount due, or doesn’t move from the property.

The second new ordinance is mandatory disclosures from property owners.
Property owners are required to share new information about the condition of the building, share contact information for the property owner or manager to be able to receive notices and demands and more.

The scene of the crash at 26th Avenue North and Emerson Avenue North in Minneapolis. (FOX 9)

Woman sentenced in fatal Minneapolis crash
Big picture view:
Prosecutors say Teniki Steward drove a Buick Enclave into a bus shelter and a Ford Explorer after speeding through a red light.
Both of the women in the Ford Explorer died in the crash. They were identified as 53-year-old Ester Jean Fulks and 57-year-old Rose Elaine Reece.
During the crash, the Ford Explorer went off the road, injuring a 17-year-old boy who was waiting for a school bus.
The passenger in Steward’s vehicle also suffered injuries.
Minneapolis police said that Steward was also injured in the crash.
Steward pleaded guilty to multiple murder charges.
What they’re saying:
During the sentencing, the daughter of one of the victims had a statement read on her behalf:
“There’s nothing that can truly prepare you for the moment your entire world is taken from you. Losing my mom has left a pain in my heart that words will never be able to explain.”
What’s next:
Minnesota law requires that Steward serves at least two-thirds of her sentence, a bit under eight-and-a-half years, in prison.
Fatal Emerson and 26th crash
The backstory:
According to the criminal complaint, through surveillance videos from the scene of the crash and witnesses, investigators learned that Steward, driving the Buick Enclave, had been driving at a high rate of speed northbound on Emerson Avenue North.
Before the fatal crash, Steward sped through the intersection of Emerson Avenue North and Broadway Avenue North, running a red light and nearly causing a crash, the charges said.
Steward then continued to speed northbound down Emerson Avenue North, and ran another red light at 26th Avenue North, hitting the Ford Explorer, which was traveling eastbound, according to the complaint.
The Ford Explorer had been at the intersection of Emerson and 26th on a green light.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty shared the following statement:
“This was an egregious act that took Rose and Esther’s lives and injured a child waiting to go to school at a bus stop. Ms. Steward was driving at extremely dangerous speeds on city streets and narrowly avoided multiple collisions before the incident occurred. Third-degree murder charges are appropriate to hold her accountable and protect our community.”
