Barnesville, Minn., Mun. Code doc-3891 (2026) § 150.060
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
Operative Text
Nothing in this subchapter shall prevent the city from taking affirmative action under any of its fire, housing, zoning, or other health safety codes for violations thereof to seek either injunctive relief or criminal prosecution for such violations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the particular city code provision under which the city would proceed against the property owner, designated property manager, or occupant of any residential rental dwelling unit covered by this registration and inspection section. Nothing contained in this subchapter shall prevent the city from seeking injunctive relief against a property owner or designated property manager who fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this subchapter to obtain an order closing such rental units until violations of this particular subchapter have been remedied by the property owner or designated property manager. (Prior Code, § 3-0501, Subd. 16)
Barnesville Rental Unit Registration and Regulations § 150.060 preserves the city's authority to pursue legal remedies beyond the registration-and-inspection framework itself. The city may seek injunctive relief or criminal prosecution under its fire, housing, zoning, or health-safety codes against property owners, designated property managers, or occupants who violate those codes. Additionally, the city may seek a court order to close rental units when a property owner or manager fails to comply with the requirements of this subchapter, until those violations are corrected.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 150.060, the city retains the power to pursue court-ordered remedies—including unit closures—independently of any administrative process under the registration subchapter. Operators who maintain compliance with fire, housing, zoning, and health-safety codes, as well as the registration and inspection requirements, reduce their exposure to injunctive actions or criminal referrals. Keeping documentation of inspections, repairs, and code-compliance efforts is a practice commonly associated with operators who can demonstrate ongoing adherence to city requirements.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section § 150.060 signals that the city of Barnesville has multiple legal tools available to address substandard rental conditions, including seeking court orders to close units that remain out of compliance. Tenants who believe their unit has unresolved code violations may consider contacting the city directly to inquire about inspection or enforcement processes under this subchapter. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how these city enforcement mechanisms interact with any other protections that may apply to their housing situation.
