Breakfast with Gary Friday July 30, 2004 7:30 to 9 a.m. at Caf� of the Americas, 3019 Minnehaha Ave S.
This month's Topic: Rental Application Fees Is the affordable housing crises over? Despite increased vacancies, renters are still subject to high fees when applying for an apartment. Sometimes renters pay hundreds of dollars, and still can't find a place to live, making transitioning out of shelters difficult. Council Member Gary Schiff and tenant advocates are proposing an ordinance to limit rental application fees. The proposed ordinance would insure that renters are given the criteria their application will be judged on; guarantee that renters are notified of the reasons for rejection; limit application fees; and limit the number of application fees that can be collected per unit. Staff and advocates from HOME Line and the Jobs and Affordable Housing campaign will be on hand. Breakfast with Gary is a monthly breakfast meeting for constituents hosted by 9th Ward Minneapolis City Council Member Gary Schiff. Held from 7:30-9:00 a.m. on the final Friday of the month (January through October) at the Caf� of the Americas (3019 Minnehaha Avenue South), the Breakfast features people and issues that affect the 9th Ward and the City of Minneapolis. The cost of breakfast is $5. REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules? Email the list manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] before continuing it on the list. 2. Don't feed the troll!
