MAAR monitors real estate issues in Minneapolis and surrounding communities. Members active in these areas will bring issues to the attention of the Public Affairs Task Force. MAAR has positions on several important local real estate issues:
Thirteen cities in the Twin Cities area have ordinances requiring the inspection of the residential property whenever the property is offered for sale. Although similar in scope, the specifics of each ordinance differ.

Cities ordinance regulations vary from city to city, as does the enforcement process. In all of these cities, it is illegal to place off-site signs on the public right of way. Some ordinances go to great lengths to describe exactly where and when these signs can be placed off-site.
