Champlin, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 30, art. II § 30-33
No retaliation
Operative Text
It shall be a violation of this article for a licensee or its agent to retaliate in any manner against a tenant or occupant for reporting or in any manner participating in the enforcement of this article. The provisions of Minn. Stats. § 504B.205, subd. 2, are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this article.
Champlin Code of Ordinances ch. 30, art. II § 30-33 prohibits rental property licensees and their agents from retaliating against tenants or occupants in any form because those tenants reported a violation or participated in enforcement of the article. The provision also incorporates Minnesota Statutes § 504B.205, subd. 2, making that state-level anti-retaliation framework part of the local ordinance. Together, these rules create a layered protection against landlord conduct intended to punish tenants for exercising their rights under the code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Champlin Code of Ordinances ch. 30, art. II § 30-33, compliant property licensees and their agents refrain from any adverse action — such as rent increases, eviction threats, reduced services, or harassment — taken in response to a tenant's complaint or participation in a code-enforcement proceeding. Because the provision incorporates Minnesota Statutes § 30-33 § 504B.205, subd. 2, operators are generally familiar with both the local and state-level anti-retaliation standards that apply to their properties. Maintaining clear, documented, non-retaliatory reasons for any changes in tenancy terms or conditions is a practice commonly associated with compliance.
