Subd. 4. Eligibility for new license. Upon a decision to revoke, suspend, deny, or not renew a
rental license for violations of this section, the licensee will not be eligible for any new rental licenses for
the property for a period determined by the city council, but not to exceed one year. For any licensee who
has had two or more rental licenses revoked, suspended, denied, or not renewed for violations of this section
for any of their rental properties in the city, the city council may determine that the licensee will not be
eligible for any new rental licenses for a period determined by the city council, but not to exceed two years.
Subd. 5. Exception. No adverse rental license action shall be imposed where the verified disorderly
property incident occurred during the pendency of eviction proceedings (unlawful detainer) or within 30
days of notice given by the licensee to a tenant to vacate the premises where the verified incident was related
to conduct by that tenant or by other occupants or guests of the tenant’s unit, provided that the eviction is
being diligently pursued by the licensee. Further, an action to deny, revoke, suspend, or not renew a rental
license based upon violations of this section may be postponed or discontinued at any time if it appears that
the licensee has taken appropriate measures which will prevent further instances of disorderly property
incidences.

2019 Crystal City Code 635.01
Section 635 – Prohibiting the use of cannabis products in public placesCrystal City Code § 630.13 establishes a process by which the city council may deny, revoke, suspend, or decline to renew a rental license when a property accumulates a third verified disorderly property incident within 12 months of a second such incident. The city manager initiates the process by issuing written notice of a hearing, which must be held between 10 and 30 days after notice is given. Following any adverse action, a licensee may be barred from obtaining new rental licenses for up to one year—or up to two years for repeat violators—though exceptions exist when evictions are actively being pursued or when the licensee has taken corrective measures.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Crystal City Code § 630.13, rental property operators who receive notice of a hearing before the city council should be aware that the process is triggered by a third verified disorderly property incident within 12 months of a second. Compliant operators generally document and pursue eviction proceedings promptly when disorderly conduct occurs, since § 630.13, Subd. 5 provides an exception to adverse license action when eviction is being diligently pursued or when appropriate corrective measures have been taken. Operators with multiple properties in Crystal should also note that two or more license revocations across any of their rental properties can result in an extended ineligibility period of up to two years.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Crystal City Code § 630.13 affects tenants because a rental license revocation, suspension, or non-renewal can ultimately impact the status of a rental property and its occupants. Tenants should be aware that § 630.13, Subd. 5 limits adverse license actions when eviction proceedings are already underway, which may be relevant context if a tenant believes a disorderly incident has been mischaracterized or attributed incorrectly. Tenants with concerns about how this provision is being applied to their housing situation may wish to consult a local tenant-rights organization or review the full hearing process outlined in § 630.13, Subd. 2 to understand available procedural protections.
