Tenant Right to Repair Ballot Initiative
Summary
Duluth voters could decide whether renters can fix serious habitability problems themselves when landlords won't—and deduct the cost from rent. Because it's a ballot measure, your vote directly shapes local landlord-tenant rules. If it passes, expect faster fixes for tenants and new financial and administrative risk for landlords who delay repairs.

Impact analysis
Tenants could front repair costs and subtract them from rent, while landlords who stall on serious fixes risk lost rental income and repair bills.
Renters living with broken heat, plumbing, or other serious hazards—and local repair pros who get the work.
Landlords who ignore serious repairs could lose rent money and control over fixes; small landlords may feel compliance and cash-flow pressure.
