Brooklyn Park, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 117 (2026) § 117.483
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACTS OF MANAGER
Operative Text
Licensees are responsible for the acts or omissions of their managers and operators. (Ord. 2002-975, passed 6-10-02; Am. Ord. 2008-1090, passed 7-7-08)
Brooklyn Park Ch. 117 Rental Dwellings § 117.483 establishes that a rental property licensee bears responsibility for the conduct of any manager or operator they employ or designate. If a manager or operator fails to comply with applicable rental dwelling requirements, that failure is attributed to the licensee as if the licensee had acted or failed to act directly. This provision closes a potential gap where a licensee might otherwise disclaim accountability by pointing to a third-party manager.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 117.483, property owners who hold a rental dwelling license in Brooklyn Park cannot distance themselves from violations committed by the managers or operators running their properties. Compliant operators generally vet managers carefully, provide clear written instructions on local rental dwelling requirements, and maintain oversight systems to catch and correct noncompliance before it becomes a licensing issue. Because the licensee's own license is on the line for a manager's missteps, ongoing supervision and documentation of management practices are hallmarks of responsible operation under this chapter.
