City council tries again to extend Minneapolis' eviction timeline after Operation Metro Surge

State of play: The council voted last week to temporarily require landlords to give tenants two extra weeks' notice — 45 days instead of 30 — before taking an eviction claim to court.

• Mayor Jacob Frey has already vetoed a 60-day notice period, arguing that longer eviction timelines only allow tenants to fall further behind.

What they're saying: Council Member Aurin Chowdhury asked Frey not to veto it this time: "We compromised, and it was worth it," she told reporters.

Zoom out: The St. Paul City Council has already approved a temporary 60-day pre-eviction notice period through December — though without Mayor Kaohly Her's support.

• Like Frey, Her argued that boosting funding for emergency rental assistance programs was a more direct solution.
