Eden Valley, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 153 (2026) § 153.14
LANDLORD LIABILITY
Operative Text
The owner of a rental unit, manufactured home park, rooming house, or sleeping room shall be responsible to cause persons occupying the rental unit to conduct themselves in such a manner as to not cause the premises to be in violation of the prohibition against noise as set forth in the noise ordinance (see § 92.04 (K)), nor to allow to exist on the premises a public nuisance. (Ord. passed 4-6-2016)
Eden Valley Ch. 153 Rental Code § 153.14 establishes that rental property owners — including those who own manufactured home parks, rooming houses, or sleeping rooms — bear legal responsibility for ensuring that occupants do not create noise violations under § 92.04(K) or allow a public nuisance to exist on the premises. The rule places the compliance burden on the owner, not just the occupant, meaning a violation by a tenant can translate into liability for the landlord. This provision effectively links occupant conduct to owner accountability under Eden Valley's rental code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Eden Valley Ch. 153 Rental Code § 153.14, compliant property owners generally take active steps to ensure that lease agreements include clear conduct standards referencing the noise ordinance at § 92.04(K) and prohibitions on public nuisances. Operators typically respond promptly when notified of noise or nuisance complaints, documenting their efforts to address occupant behavior. Because the ordinance places responsibility on the owner, maintaining records of communications with tenants about conduct expectations is a practice commonly associated with compliance.

Eden Valley Ch. 153 Rental Code § 153.14 makes clear that a landlord has a legal duty to ensure occupants do not create noise violations under § 92.04(K) or allow public nuisances on the property — which means tenants have a corresponding interest in understanding what conduct standards apply to their tenancy. If a landlord attempts to take action against a tenant related to noise or nuisance claims, tenants may find it useful to review whether the alleged conduct actually falls within the definitions set out in § 92.04(K). Tenants facing disputes related to this provision may consider reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization or consulting with a housing attorney to understand available options.
