Under Andover, MN City Code § 9-8B-5, any rental property owner who lives outside Minnesota must designate a Minnesota-based agent on their rental license application. This agent serves as the official point of contact through whom the City of Andover can deliver legal notices related to the licensed dwelling unit or units. The requirement ensures that local authorities have a reliable, in-state representative to reach when action on a rental property is needed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 9-8B-5 of the Andover Rental Licensing code requires out-of-state property owners to name a Minnesota-resident agent directly on the rental license application before the license is issued. Compliant operators typically identify an agent—such as a local property manager or trusted in-state contact—who is prepared to receive official City notices on behalf of the owner. Keeping this agent designation current with the City is a standard part of maintaining a valid rental license in Andover.

Under § 9-8B-5 of Andover's Rental Licensing ordinance, your landlord is required to have a Minnesota-based agent on file with the City if the owner lives out of state. This means there should always be an in-state representative through whom the City can serve official notices about your dwelling unit. If you have concerns about whether a proper agent has been designated, you may contact the City of Andover directly or reach out to a tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available.
