Where Minneapolis' mayoral candidates stand on rent control

Minneapolis voters will be asked on their ballots to give City Council the power to create a policy that would limit how much landlords can raise rent on their tenants.

What they're saying: Candidates Sheila Nezhad, Kate Knuth and A.J. Awed all said they support rent control.

• Nezhad and Awed endorsed Minneapolis United for Rent Control's proposal to tie annual rent increases to inflation or the consumer price index.
• Knuth supports rent control but didn't specify what type of cap she would back. She wants to make sure it doesn't limit new housing development or hit small landlords.
