Coon Rapids, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 12-900 § 12-914
Responsibility for Acts of Manager
Operative Text
Licensees are responsible for the acts or omissions of their Managers as it pertains to the rental dwelling.
Under Coon Rapids Code of Ordinances ch. 12-900 § 12-914, a rental property licensee bears legal responsibility for the conduct of any manager they employ or designate in connection with the rental dwelling. This means that if a manager fails to comply with applicable rules or takes improper action, that failure or action is attributed to the licensee. The provision closes a potential gap where a property owner might otherwise disclaim accountability by pointing to a manager's independent decisions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 12-914 of the Coon Rapids Code places the compliance burden squarely on the licensee, meaning that delegating day-to-day operations to a property manager does not transfer legal accountability away from the license holder. Compliant operators generally maintain clear oversight of their managers, establish written policies aligned with local rental regulations, and regularly verify that managers are following those policies. Because any manager misstep is treated as the licensee's own, thorough vetting and ongoing supervision of management staff are hallmarks of responsible operation under ch. 12-900.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 12-914 of the Coon Rapids Code, tenants dealing with a property manager who violates rental dwelling rules have recourse against the licensee directly, not just the manager. This means that if a manager's conduct causes a problem — such as improper entry, neglected repairs, or other regulatory violations — the property owner as licensee cannot escape responsibility by claiming the manager acted independently. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred may consider contacting the City of Coon Rapids to report the issue or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
