Arden Hills, Minn., Mun. Code § 335 (2026) § 335.08
No Warranty by the City
Operative Text
By enacting and undertaking to enforce this Ordinance, neither the City, its designees, the City Council, or its officers, agents or employees warrant or guarantee the safety, fitness or suitability of any dwelling in the City. Owners or occupants should take whatever steps they deem appropriate to protect their interests, health, safety and welfare. A warning in substantially the foregoing language shall be printed on the face of the rental registration.
Arden Hills Section 335.08 establishes that the city's rental registration and enforcement program does not constitute a guarantee or warranty that any registered dwelling is safe, fit, or suitable for habitation. The ordinance explicitly places responsibility on owners and occupants to take steps they consider appropriate to protect their own interests, health, safety, and welfare. As a procedural requirement, this disclaimer must appear in substantially the same language on the face of every rental registration document.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Arden Hills Section 335.08, compliant rental operators ensure that the required no-warranty language appears on the face of each rental registration document, as the ordinance mandates. Operators generally understand that obtaining a registration certificate does not signal city approval of a unit's safety or habitability, and they maintain properties according to applicable housing standards independently of the registration process. Keeping records of inspections, maintenance, and repairs reflects the kind of proactive ownership posture the provision contemplates.

Arden Hills Section 335.08 makes clear that a landlord's possession of a rental registration does not mean the city has certified the unit as safe, fit, or suitable — tenants should not interpret registration as a city endorsement of a unit's condition. Tenants retain the ability to raise habitability concerns through other channels, such as local code enforcement complaints or consultation with a tenant-rights organization, regardless of a unit's registration status. Reviewing the no-warranty language that must appear on the face of the rental registration can help tenants understand the scope and limits of the city's registration program.
