Plain English

Edina City Code ch. 10, art. XVIII § 10-730 establishes that when a dwelling is converted into a rental unit, it must be licensed and inspected to confirm it meets the city's minimum housing standards before it can operate as a rental. A separate conversion inspection fee, set by city Code section 2-724, applies on top of the regular annual rental license fee. This requirement applies only to buildings with one or two dwelling units — larger multi-unit buildings are exempt from this particular rule.

For Property Managers

Under Edina City Code ch. 10, art. XVIII § 10-730, operators who convert a single-family home or duplex into a rental property generally obtain a rental license and schedule a point-of-conversion inspection before renting the unit. Compliant operators budget for both the conversion inspection fee referenced in city Code section 2-724 and the ongoing annual rental license fee, treating them as separate obligations. Keeping documentation of the inspection and license approval is a common practice for demonstrating compliance.

For Tenants

Edina City Code ch. 10, art. XVIII § 10-730 gives tenants moving into a newly converted rental unit a basis to expect that the property has been inspected and licensed by the city before occupancy. If a tenant has reason to believe a converted one- or two-unit dwelling was never inspected or licensed as required, they may contact the City of Edina's relevant licensing or code enforcement office to inquire about the property's compliance status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help explain what options are generally available when a landlord may not have met point-of-conversion requirements.
