Plain English

Under Edina City Code ch. 10, art. XVIII § 10-723, operating a rental dwelling within the City of Edina without a valid license issued by the City Manager is prohibited by law. Licenses are not permanent — they must be renewed each year to remain in effect. This rule applies to rental dwellings broadly, establishing licensure as a baseline legal requirement for rental operations in the city.

For Property Managers

Edina City Code ch. 10, art. XVIII § 10-723 makes it unlawful to operate a rental dwelling without a current City Manager-issued license, so compliant operators obtain their license before renting out any unit and track annual renewal deadlines to avoid a lapse in licensure. Maintaining an up-to-date license file — and acting on renewal notices well before expiration — is a standard practice for operators in good standing. Allowing a license to expire while continuing to rent could expose an operator to legal liability under this provision.

For Tenants

Edina City Code ch. 10, art. XVIII § 10-723 gives tenants a basis to verify that their rental dwelling is properly licensed by the City of Edina, since operating without that license is unlawful. If a tenant has reason to believe their landlord is operating without a required license, they may consider contacting the City of Edina directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options. The annual renewal requirement means licensure status can change from year to year, so tenants can periodically confirm their building's standing with the city.
