Champlin, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 30, art. II § 30-24
Issuance of license
Operative Text
(a) Upon receipt of a completed application and the required license and inspection fees, the city shall issue a license if upon inspection by the enforcement officer the dwelling units and the application are found to be in compliance with all provisions of this section, other ordinances of the city, and all applicable laws and regulations of the county and state. The license shall be effective upon issuance and shall continue for the license period described in section 30-23 (c). (b) Rental licenses are not required to be posted. However, the property owner or agent for the owner must present a current license upon request by tenants or prospective tenants within 48 hours of request. Misrepresentation by an owner or owner's agent that a dwelling unit or sleeping room is licensed when it is not is a violation of this article.
Under Champlin Code of Ordinances ch. 30, art. II § 30-24, the city issues a rental license only after a completed application, required fees, and a passing inspection confirm that the dwelling units meet all applicable local, county, and state requirements. Once issued, the license remains valid for the period set out in § 30-23(c). While landlords are not required to display the license on the property, they must produce a current copy to any tenant or prospective tenant within 48 hours of a request. Claiming a unit is licensed when it is not constitutes a violation of this article.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking compliance under § 30-24 generally ensure that applications are fully completed, all fees are submitted, and dwelling units are ready to pass an enforcement officer's inspection before a license is issued. Although posting the license is not required, compliant property owners and their agents keep a current license readily accessible so they can respond to any tenant or prospective tenant request within the 48-hour window the provision establishes. Owners and agents should take care never to represent a unit as licensed if a valid license has not been issued, as doing so is explicitly identified as a violation of this article.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 30-24, tenants and prospective tenants have the right to request a copy of the current rental license and must receive it within 48 hours of making that request. If an owner or agent claims a unit is licensed but cannot produce a valid license, that misrepresentation is a violation of this article, which may be relevant information when deciding how to proceed. Tenants who believe this provision has been violated may consider contacting the City of Champlin's enforcement office or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
