Minnesota’s Multifamily Housing Industry Faces Rising Property Insurance Costs
March 6 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm CST
How are property insurance costs changing for the owners and operators of multifamily rental housing in Minnesota? How are the owners and operators of multifamily rental housing responding? And what are the opportunities for policy responses to the rising costs that could endanger the future of rental housing?
To quantify the increases in property insurance premiums and deductibles, the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis surveyed multifamily rental owners and operators in fall 2024. Join us as we present our findings and hear from a panel of experts discussing our research.
