Blaine, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 18, art. V § 18-321
Posting of license
Operative Text
The licensee shall post a copy of the license in a conspicuous public corridor or hallway or lobby of the licensed rental dwelling.
Section 18-321 of the Blaine Code of Ordinances requires that a copy of the rental dwelling license be displayed in a visible, publicly accessible area of the building — such as a corridor, hallway, or lobby. The rule ensures that anyone entering the building can readily see proof that the property is properly licensed. It applies to all licensees of rental dwellings covered under Chapter 18, Article V.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 18-321, compliant rental property operators keep a copy of the current rental dwelling license posted in a spot that residents and visitors can easily see — a main hallway, common corridor, or lobby are the locations specifically identified in the ordinance. Operators generally check periodically that the posted license remains visible, undamaged, and up to date, particularly after license renewals. Maintaining a consistently posted license is a straightforward way to demonstrate ongoing compliance with Blaine's rental licensing requirements.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 18-321 gives tenants a basis to expect that a copy of the rental dwelling license will be visibly posted in a common area such as a lobby or hallway. If no license is posted, that absence may indicate a compliance issue with Blaine's rental licensing program, and tenants can contact the appropriate Blaine municipal or code enforcement office to report the concern. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Blaine ordinances can also help residents understand what options are generally available when a landlord does not appear to be meeting posting requirements.
