For Property Managers

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.

For Tenants

Edina City Code ch. 10, art. XVIII § 10-729 establishes that your landlord is obligated to keep an accurate register of tenants and other lawful occupants as a condition of their rental license. If you believe your landlord is not maintaining proper records or is failing to recognize your lawful right to occupancy, that may constitute a licensing compliance issue. Tenants who have concerns about a landlord's compliance with this provision can contact the City of Edina or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
