Around 2 years ago the city council passed some anti STR regulations that mostly could only be overcome by living on the property. 

It generally depends on the neighborhood if you'll be granted the variance, some neighborhoods have become quite anti-development and others, if your request is reasonable, you're likely to get it. 

Anything official in a lease agreement, or even a handshake assertion that "your last month is free if you use my gal" would be a straight up inducement, and in states with tight anti-inducement laws straight up illegal.Otherwise, induce away! 

The current Minneapolis city council is very anti landlord.

It appears to me that it is misrepresenting tenant-landlord relations as an antagonist zero-sum game, which it is not, and that the result of the bill will to harm low-income tenants and make landlords pivot towards the provision of higher-cost housingWhat the bill terms as the “new” tenant rights start with an enumeration of anti-discrimination laws enshrined in the Civil Rights Act of 1866 to then “progresses” to protect the prospect’s source of income and eviction record.

Be sure to know what you'll require in your unit, and then make those requirements clear in the listing.Be sure to follow all Equal Housing and anti-discrimination laws carefully, and within those bounds be as clear as possible, like "No smoking, minimum credit score of X, income must be Y" and so on.Good luck on the road!

Personally, I am anti-Zillow because they are setting up to eliminate realtors.

I've seen psychiatrists and even still take anti-depressants to this day just to stay balanced.

I was gonna say Claymore anti-personnel mine should do it!

So while it was meant to be informative and educate others, it has transformed into anti wholesaling in many threads.
