Dayton, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 113 (2026) § 113.127
NOTICE TO VACATE
Operative Text
The code official shall have the authority to issue a NOTICE TO VACATE order on any building that is, in the opinion of the code official and as defined in this chapter, deemed substandard. (Ord. 2018-18, passed 2-28-2018; Ord. 2019-07, passed 6-11-2019)
Dayton Ch. 113 Rental Dwellings § 113.127 grants the local code official the power to issue a formal Notice to Vacate order whenever a building is determined to meet the chapter's definition of a substandard structure. This order is based on the code official's professional assessment and the standards set out in Chapter 113. The provision establishes the legal basis for requiring occupants to leave a building that fails to meet minimum habitability standards.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 113.127, a code official can issue a Notice to Vacate for any rental property found to be substandard under Chapter 113, which can effectively halt rental operations at that property. Operators who maintain buildings in compliance with Dayton's rental dwelling standards—addressing structural, safety, and habitability conditions—are generally in a position to avoid such orders. Keeping records of inspections, repairs, and maintenance can help demonstrate ongoing compliance if a code official conducts a review.

Section 113.127 means that if your building is deemed substandard by Dayton's code official, a Notice to Vacate can be issued, which may require you to leave the premises. Tenants who receive or are affected by such a notice may want to document the conditions in their unit and seek information from local tenant-rights organizations about what rights and remedies may be available. Consulting with a housing attorney or contacting the City of Dayton's code enforcement office can help clarify the basis for any order issued under this provision.
