U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-3493
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Chief Judge Smith and Wollman, Circuit
Judges]
Civil Case ? Civil Rights ? preliminary injunction. Landlords appeal
the denial of preliminary injunction challenging the constitutionality of
Minneapolis Ordinance No. 244.2030, regulating requirements for denying
tenant applications for rental housing, as unlawful Taking and Due Process
violation. Because the ordinance contains an individualized assessment
option, it is a restriction on the landlords? ability to use their
property, not a physical-invasion taking. The landlords failed to show any
economic impact amounted to a taking. The ordinance does not infringe any
right to exclude others and does not infringe a fundamental right; it
withstands rational basis review.
