Violations and penalties
Operative Text
Any person violating any provision of this article is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be subject to the penalties as set forth in Minnesota Statutes.
Elk River Code of Ordinances ch. 30, art. III § 30-207 establishes that any violation of the article's provisions constitutes a misdemeanor offense under Minnesota law. Upon conviction, the penalties that apply are those set by Minnesota Statutes for misdemeanor offenses rather than a locally specified fine schedule. This means the consequences of a violation are determined by state law, not solely by the local ordinance itself.

Under § 30-207 of the Elk River Code of Ordinances, a property owner or manager who fails to comply with the requirements of Article III exposes themselves to misdemeanor criminal liability. Compliant operators generally ensure that all rental practices, property conditions, and procedural obligations outlined in the article are consistently met to avoid criminal prosecution. Because penalties are tied to Minnesota Statutes' misdemeanor standards, the consequences can extend beyond fines to include potential criminal records.
