Operative Text

425.3011 has expired, the Designated City Official determines that the dwelling and/or
dwelling unit(s) fails to comply with any of the licensing standards in Sections 425.3006,
or the Police Department has initiated an action to deny or revoke a license pursuant to
section 425.8000, the Designated City Official shall send by certified mail, the owner a
notice of denial or revocation of the license. The notice shall state:
(a) That the Designated City Official has determined that the dwelling and/or
dwelling unit(s) fails to comply with the licensing standards for rental
dwellings in Section 425.3006, that the licensee has failed to take
appropriate action following conduct by tenants and/or their guests on
the licensed premises under Section 425.8000, or that the licensee has
failed to submit a written management plan that satisfies the
requirements set forth in 425.8000(d).
(b) The specific reasons why the dwelling and/or dwelling unit(s) fails to
meet licensing standards, including copies of applicable inspection
reports, or notices sent to licensee of conduct on licensed premises.
(c) That the Designated City Official has referred the matter to the City
Council with a recommendation to deny or revoke the license.
(d) That the City Council may per sub section (a) above deny or revoke the
license unless the owner appeals the determination within fifteen (15)
business days after the date of the notice, in the manner provided in
Section 425.3014.
(e) The Designated City Official shall cause a notice to tenants to be mailed
or delivered to each licensed dwelling unit(s) and prominently posted on
the building. The notice shall indicate that the rental dwelling license for
the unit(s) has been denied or revoked. The action will become final on a
specific date by which time the tenant needs to vacate the dwelling
unless the owner/designated agent appeals and request a hearing.
(f) That after denial or revocation the dwelling or the affected dwelling units
therein must be vacated in seven (7) calendar days and shall not be
reoccupied until all violations are corrected and a license is granted by
the City Council.Brainerd City Code § 425.3012 establishes the process by which a rental housing license may be formally denied or revoked after a compliance period has passed. Once the Designated City Official determines that a property fails to meet licensing standards under § 425.3006, or the Police Department has initiated action under § 425.8000, the owner receives a certified-mail notice detailing the specific reasons, the referral to City Council, and the deadline to appeal. Tenants in affected units must also be notified—by mail, delivery, or posted notice—and if the denial or revocation becomes final, occupants are required to vacate within seven calendar days, and the unit cannot be re-occupied until all violations are corrected and a new license is issued.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 425.3012, a compliant rental operator in Brainerd generally stays current with the licensing standards in § 425.3006 and addresses any conduct issues under § 425.8000 before the compliance period expires, so that a denial or revocation notice never becomes necessary. If a certified-mail notice of denial or revocation is received, operators typically review the specific reasons and inspection reports cited in the notice and evaluate whether to appeal within the fifteen-business-day window described in § 425.3014. Operators who do not successfully appeal must ensure affected units are vacated within seven calendar days and that all cited violations are fully corrected before seeking a new license from the City Council.

Brainerd City Code § 425.3012 requires that tenants in a dwelling facing license denial or revocation be individually notified—by mail, delivery, or a prominently posted building notice—and informed of the date by which the action becomes final. If the owner does not appeal or the appeal is unsuccessful, tenants are generally required to vacate within seven calendar days of the revocation becoming final. Tenants who receive such a notice may wish to contact a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand their options, including any rights related to relocation or the appeal timeline under § 425.3014.
