Edina, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XVIII § 10-729
Tenant register
Operative Text
Licensees must, as a continuing obligation of a license, maintain a current register of tenants and other persons who have a lawful right to occupancy of rental dwellings within an apartment. In its application, the licensee must designate the person or persons who will have possession of the register and must promptly notify the city manager of any change of the identity, address or telephone numbers of such persons. The register must be available for inspection by the city manager at all times.
Edina City Code ch. 10, art. XVIII § 10-729 requires that anyone holding a rental dwelling license keep an up-to-date register listing tenants and all other people with a lawful right to occupy each unit. The register must identify who holds it, and the city manager must be notified whenever that contact information changes. This record must be open for city manager inspection at any time.

Under Edina City Code ch. 10, art. XVIII § 10-729, compliant rental operators maintain a continuously updated occupancy register covering every tenant and lawfully authorized occupant across their licensed units. They designate a specific person or persons responsible for holding the register in their license application and promptly report any changes to that designee's identity, address, or phone number to the city manager. Keeping the register readily accessible for city manager inspection at all times is a core, ongoing condition of holding the license.
