Applicability and exceptions
Operative Text
10.7.3. Applicability and exceptions.
Subd. 1. The provisions of this article shall apply to all residential housing occupied for rent and the rental
dwelling units contained therein, including rented single-family dwellings and duplexes, manufactured
homes, and rental dwelling units in owner-occupied dwellings.
Subd. 2. The provisions of this article shall not apply to jails, hospitals, parish houses, parsonages, manses
and rectories, dwelling units in a cooperative or condominium building, hotels, motels, or facilities licensed
by the State of Minnesota, nor to any dormitory owned and operated by an educational institution.Section 10.7.3 of Cloquet's Rental Housing Regulations defines which residential properties fall within the article's scope. The rules apply broadly to all housing rented for compensation, covering single-family homes, duplexes, manufactured homes, and units in owner-occupied buildings. However, the article explicitly carves out certain property types — including jails, hospitals, religious residences, hotels, motels, cooperatives, condominiums, state-licensed facilities, and educational dormitories — which are not subject to these requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 10.7.3, operators of rental housing in Cloquet — including those renting out a single-family home, a duplex, a manufactured home, or a unit within their own owner-occupied property — are generally subject to the full requirements of the Rental Housing Regulations article. Compliant operators typically confirm at the outset whether their property type falls within the article's scope or qualifies for one of the listed exceptions, such as state licensure or cooperative ownership. Keeping clear records of the property's classification can help demonstrate compliance if questions arise.

Section 10.7.3 establishes that most renters in Cloquet — whether living in a house, duplex, manufactured home, or a unit in an owner-occupied building — are protected by the Rental Housing Regulations article. Tenants in excepted property types, such as hotels, motels, condominiums, cooperatives, or state-licensed facilities, fall outside this article's protections. Renters who are uncertain whether their housing is covered may find it helpful to review the full text of Ch. 10 § 10.7 or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
