Minneapolis, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 12 § 244.820

(a) No dwelling unit shall be occupied by more than one (1) family. However, unrelated persons may occupy a dwelling unit when such occupancy is permitted and authorized.
(b) When, in the opinion of the director of regulatory services, it is necessary for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the occupants, the owner or agent of dwelling units let to another may be required to post in a conspicuous place, with a transparent cover, a card issued by the director of regulatory services setting forth the maximum number of persons who may lawfully occupy such a dwelling unit. Said card shall be posted inside the dwelling unit at eye level on, or within four (4) feet of, the main entrance door.
(c) For purposes of this section, a family may include a group of two (2) or more unrelated adults living together in a dwelling unit when operating as an intentional community.
(d) Occupation of a dwelling unit as an intentional community shall be subject to the following limitations:
(1) A dwelling unit in which the various occupants act as separate roomers may not be deemed to be occupied by an intentional community.
(2) A rental property owner may have an ownership interest in no more than one (1) dwelling occupied as an intentional community. Cooperatives whose members live in the dwellings they own will not be subject to this limitation, nor will rental property owners which are nonprofit organizations registered with or organized pursuant to the laws of the State of Minnesota.

(5) If a household or the members of a household registered as an intentional community do not meet or no longer meet the standards of this section, the household shall not qualify for recognition as an intentional community and shall be subject to enforcement for violation of this section or any other applicable section of this Code. Additionally, intentional communities and the members thereof shall comply with all provisions of this Code involving noisy and unruly assemblies or other regulations protecting the public health, safety, and repose and violation thereof may constitute good cause to determine that such standards have not been met.
(6) An intentional community that dissolves shall inform the director of regulatory services of its dissolution within ten (10) days. Furthermore, if any of the information required to be provided with the initial registration of the intentional community should change, the intentional community shall inform the director within ten (10) days.
