Bemidji, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. II § 10-51

The following minimum standards and conditions will be met in order to hold a license. Failure to comply with any of these standards and conditions will be adequate grounds for the denial, refusal to renew, revocation, or suspension of a license or rental certificate of occupancy. (a)
License holder will have paid the required license fee(s);
(b) Rental units will not exceed the maximum number of rental units allowed by the zoning code;
(c) The rental unit will not be under condemnation as hazardous or unfit for human habitation;
(d) Every rental unit will be maintained in accordance with the minimum standards set forth in the applicable codes adopted by the city including current City Code; Property Maintenance Code; Minnesota Building Code; Minnesota Residential Code, and the local Zoning Ordinance, as the same may be amended from time to time, as adopted. No rental certificate of occupancy may be issued unless each rental unit for which it is issued meets the minimum applicable housing, building, and zoning standards.
(e) All rental units that were unlicensed on the effective date of this article and subsequently registered or converted to registered rental unit(s), will provide the off-street parking spaces required under this article. The number of required off-street parking spaces will be determined by any applicable planning and zoning ordinances at the time of inspection.
(f) All rental units registered on the effective date of this article may continue to be registered even though the property does not conform to the off-street parking requirements of this section. However, if the number of bedrooms, or number of rooms occupied as bedrooms, is increased, the off-street parking requirements of this section will apply to the entire registered property. If the registration for the nonconforming rental is revoked or lapses for any period of time, all nonconforming use rights related to off-street parking requirements will terminate.
(g) Addenda required. All tenant leases, subject to all preemptory state and federal laws, will contain and/or incorporate the Crime Free/Drug Free Addendum as the same is set forth in the Minnesota Crime Free Multi-Housing Program materials and the Violence Against Women Act Addendum.
(h) Every license holder, or their manager, will maintain a current register of all tenants and other persons with a lawful right of occupancy to each rental unit. The register will be kept current at all times and will be available for inspection by the city at all times. Failure to maintain a current register or to allow the city inspection of the register may result in suspension of the license.
(i) The city building department will be promptly notified of any change of the manager, and any change in the names, addresses, and other information concerning the persons listed in the last registration application filed with the city building department.
