Barnesville, Minn., Mun. Code doc-3891 (2026) § 150.057
FAILURE TO GRANT REGISTRATION, REVOCATION, SUSPENSION, OR FAILURE TO RENEW REGISTRATION
Operative Text
(A) The city reserves the right not to register a unit unless the rental unit or units for which registration is sought complies with the requirements of this subchapter. (B) Any registration issued under this subchapter is subject to the right, which is hereby expressly reserved by the city, to suspend, revoke, or fail to renew the same should the registration holder or his or her agents, employees, representatives or lessees directly or indirectly operate or maintain the rental dwellings contrary to the provisions of this subchapter or any other city code provision or any special permit issued by the city, or the laws of the state. Provided, however, registration shall not be suspended, revoked, or failed to be renewed if the registration holder complies with a compliance order, or orders, in a timely manner. (C) The City Clerk shall notify, in writing, the applicant that his or her registration has been denied, or the registration holder that his or her registration is being suspended, removed, or non-renewed. The suspension, revocation, or non-renewal shall occur 35 days after the date of the order, or at such later date as set out in the order. The notice shall be served by mailing a copy of the order to the property owner, and the designated local property manager, if any, as indicated in the records on file in the City Clerk’s office. (D) (1) If the order is appealed to the Council, the registration holder shall receive at least seven days’ written notice of the hearing date before the Council and, at the hearing, the registration holder, the local managing agent, and/or an attorney representing the registration holder may present evidence. (2) After the hearing, the Council may uphold the decision of the City Clerk, reverse the decision of the City Clerk, or enter a different order with different conditions if the Council deems it necessary to protect the public health, sanitation, safety, or general welfare of the community at large or the residents of rental units in the city. The Council shall issue written findings of fact and its order within 20 days of the hearing. (E) The decision of the Council may be appealed by the registration holder by filing an appeal or an appropriate writ with the County District Court within 15 days of the date of the order of the Council. (Prior Code, § 3-0501, Subd. 13)
Barnesville Rental Unit Registration and Regulations § 150.057 establishes the city's authority to deny, suspend, revoke, or decline to renew a rental unit registration when a property is not in compliance with local codes, state law, or special permits. The city must provide written notice of any such action, and the affected registration holder has the right to appeal first to the City Council and then to the County District Court. A registration action can be avoided or halted if the holder comes into compliance with any outstanding compliance orders in a timely manner.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 150.057, compliant operators generally ensure their rental units meet all requirements of the subchapter, other applicable city codes, and state law before and throughout the registration period. When a denial, suspension, revocation, or non-renewal notice is issued by the City Clerk, registration holders have a defined window—35 days from the order date—before the action takes effect, and timely compliance with any compliance orders can prevent the action from proceeding. If the decision is contested, § 150.057 provides a structured appeal path: first to the City Council (with at least seven days' written notice of the hearing), and then to the County District Court within 15 days of the Council's order.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 150.057 gives the city of Barnesville a mechanism to protect renters by allowing it to deny or revoke registrations for rental units that do not comply with local codes, state law, or special permits. Tenants living in a unit whose registration is suspended or revoked may find this provision relevant to their housing situation, and tenant-rights organizations can help explain what such an action means for occupants. Tenants who believe their unit is being operated in violation of city or state requirements may consider contacting the City Clerk's office or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what remedies or reporting options exist under § 150.057.
