CHANGES IN THE RENTAL DWELLING OR RENTAL DWELLING UNIT
Operative Text
If changes are made in the number or type of units, the agent or property manager, the licensee shall notify the City Clerk in writing within five (5) days of such change.
Under Cottage Grove Ch. 15 Rental Licensing § 3-15-7, whenever the number or type of rental units at a property changes, or when the agent or property manager changes, the license holder is required to notify the City Clerk in writing within five days of that change. This is an ongoing disclosure obligation tied to the rental license, not a one-time requirement at the time of initial licensing. The rule ensures that the City maintains current information about who manages a property and how it is configured.

Cottage Grove Ch. 15 Rental Licensing § 3-15-7 places a prompt reporting duty on licensees: compliant operators track any changes to the number or type of rental units and any changes in the agent or property manager, and submit written notice to the City Clerk within five days of each such change. Maintaining a simple internal log of property changes can help ensure the five-day window is not missed. Keeping copies of all written notifications sent to the City Clerk is a common practice for demonstrating compliance.

Cottage Grove Ch. 15 Rental Licensing § 3-15-7 requires that the City Clerk be kept up to date when a rental property's unit configuration or management changes, which means tenants can generally expect the City to have current licensing and management information on file. If a tenant believes a landlord has failed to report such changes as required, raising that concern with the City Clerk's office is one avenue for flagging a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Cottage Grove's rental licensing rules can help tenants understand what options may be available in connection with a landlord's reporting obligations.
