Condition of Use. The registration approval shall be contingent upon the following:
Operative Text
Subd. 1 Conformance to Laws. Owners of registered dwelling units shall comply with applicable City Codes, including but not limited to Chapter 14 , Property Maintenance. A dwelling unit may not be rented to, nor occupied by, more than one family, as defined in Chapter 13 . Subd. 2 Real Estate Taxes and Utility Bills. The real estate taxes and municipal utility bills for the property shall be in good standing prior to issuing a rental registration certificate. Real estate taxes will not be considered to be due and payable for the purposes of this Chapter while a proper and timely appeal of such taxes is pending and is diligently pursued to completion by the registrant. Subd. 3 Inspections. The Building Official, Building Inspector, Fire Department personnel, law enforcement officers and their respective representatives are authorized to make inspections reasonably necessary to enforce this Chapter and its subsections. All authorized inspectors have the authority to enter any rental unit at all reasonable times. Each occupant shall give the owner, the owner's agent or authorized City official access to any part of such rental unit at reasonable times for the purpose of inspection, maintenance, repairs or alterations as are necessary to comply with the provisions of this Chapter. If any owner, owner's agent or occupant of a rental unit fails or refuses to permit entry to a rental unit for an inspection pursuant to this Chapter, the inspector may seek an administrative search warrant authorizing such inspection. Subd. 4 Tenant Register. The Owner or its Agent shall keep or cause to be kept, a current register of occupancy for each dwelling unit which shall be made available to the City upon request.
Arden Hills Section 335.04 establishes the conditions that must be met for a residential rental registration to remain valid. Registered dwelling units must conform to applicable city codes—including property maintenance standards—and may not be occupied by more than one family as defined by local ordinance. Property taxes and municipal utility bills must be current before a registration certificate is issued, and authorized city officials, inspectors, and law enforcement may enter rental units at reasonable times to verify compliance. Owners are also required to maintain a current register of occupants and make it available to the city upon request.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Arden Hills Section 335.04, compliant rental operators generally ensure their properties meet all applicable city codes, including Chapter 14 property maintenance standards, before and throughout the registration period. They keep real estate taxes and municipal utility accounts in good standing as a prerequisite for obtaining or renewing a rental registration certificate, and they maintain an up-to-date occupancy register for each dwelling unit that can be produced for city review on request. Operators also facilitate reasonable access for inspections by the Building Official, Fire Department, or other authorized personnel, understanding that refusal to permit entry can result in the city seeking an administrative search warrant.

Arden Hills Section 335.04 gives tenants certain protections tied to the rental registration system, including the assurance that their unit must conform to city property maintenance codes and may not be overcrowded beyond one-family occupancy as defined in Chapter 13. Tenants are required to allow owners, their agents, and authorized city officials reasonable access for inspections, maintenance, or repairs necessary to keep the unit in compliance with this chapter. If a tenant believes their unit is not meeting the conditions required under Section 335.04—such as failing property maintenance standards—they may consider contacting the Arden Hills Building Official or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
