Minnesota Landlord Reminder
Minnesota rental property owners have to issue a Certificate of Rent Paid to each of their tenants from 2006 by January 31, 2007. The CRP is the State's way of rebating the property owners' taxes to the tenants. I could get on a soap box about this redistribution of wealth program, but hey, I live in Minnesota and that comes with the package!
The forms can be obtained on this website under "CRP Instructions for Landlords". If you're new to the landlord business, the instructions are short and easy to follow. Read them first and then fill out one form for each of your tenants, even if they only rented for one month. If you don't have their current mailing address, it's suggested you send it to the address they rented from you and it will be forwarded. If it's returned, keep the entire envelope with the postmark in the tenant's file in case you are called to task for not sending it!

Minnesota Living

Minneapolis Apartments A lush, beautiful environment and plenty of urban sophistication combine to make Minneapolis a unique city that its residents love. It earns a seemingly endless parade of titles: third on Esquire Magazine's "Cities That Rock," Money Magazine's "Most Fun City in America," Travel & Leisure's "Cleanest City" and PBS's "Most Walkable Community." Speaking of walking, Minneapolis contains the only scenic byway located entirely within an urban area, allowing you to circumnavigate the city on a winding complex of beautiful trails. Minneapolis is also famous for the Mall of America, more theater seats per capita than any city other than New York and more golfers per capita than any other city in the country. How's that for variety? Residents can find their niche here in this diverse city full of opportunity. More good news: The overall cost of living is 12% below the national average, meaning that apartments are relatively inexpensive. Average apartments for rent go for $800 a month, with average 2-bedroom apartments renting for $1,000.
St. Paul Apartments The other Twin City has its own fair share of natural beauty and metropolitan delights. Set along the Mississippi River, St. Paul has a large, ethnically diverse population and a rich history of culture, which is reflected in its historic sites, architectural landmarks and Old World neighborhoods. One of the most striking features of the city are its skyways, enclosed pedestrian walkways that connect virtually all of downtown and keep pedestrians comfortable and dry no matter what the weather is outside. The cost of living here is 9% lower than the national average, which is not as favorable as Minneapolis. However, the price of apartment rentals is somewhat cheaper here. Average one-bedroom apartments go for about $650, two-bedroom apartment rentals go for $800 and three-bedroom apartments for rent average $1,000 per month. Rent.com
