Brainerd, Minn., City Code § 425 (2026) § 425.2000
All properties governed under this ordinance shall be subject to the
Operative Text
425.2000 All properties governed under this ordinance shall be subject to the property maintenance regulations set forth in Section 450 of the City Code. ARTICLE III. RENTAL DWELLING LICENSES
Section 425.2000 of the Brainerd, MN City Code establishes that every rental property covered by the Rental Housing Code (Chapter 425) must also comply with the property maintenance standards found in Section 450 of the City Code. In effect, the two code sections work together, so meeting one set of rules does not exempt a property from the other. This cross-reference ensures a baseline level of physical upkeep applies across all regulated rental properties in Brainerd.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 425.2000, operators of rental properties in Brainerd are expected to be familiar with and comply with both the Rental Housing Code (Chapter 425) and the separate property maintenance regulations in Section 450 of the City Code. Compliant operators generally review both code sections when assessing a property's condition, since a deficiency under Section 450 can constitute a violation even if Chapter 425 requirements appear to be met. Keeping records of inspections and maintenance activities that address both code chapters is a practice commonly associated with ongoing compliance.

Section 425.2000 means that tenants in Brainerd rental housing have the benefit of two overlapping sets of standards — the Rental Housing Code and the Section 450 property maintenance regulations — both of which apply to their home. If a tenant believes their unit falls below acceptable maintenance standards, they may reference either or both code sections when raising concerns with their landlord or when contacting the appropriate Brainerd city enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Minnesota housing law can help residents understand how these overlapping provisions may apply to conditions they are experiencing.
